Archiving for Artists is a two-part program dedicated to showcasing the basics of archiving and how to get started creating your own collection.

In Part 2, staff from the Special Collections Department at the Miami-Dade Public Library System will offer hands-on training in archival processing. This session will be focused on printed materials, photographs, and small objects – participants should limit what they bring to what fits inside one archival box. Participants should bring the archival box provided in the first session and materials they are interested in preserving.

About The Vasari Project

The Vasari Project is a special collection dedicated to documenting, collecting, and preserving Miami‑Dade County's art history from 1945 to the present. It is a living archive that grows through contributions from artists, art professionals, exhibition spaces, galleries, institutions, and private donors. The archive collects documentation rather than original works of art comprised primarily of printed matter: correspondence, press clippings, photographs, posters, books, exhibition catalogs, artists' files, oral histories, and other ephemeral materials.
