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 1, staff from the Special Collections Department of the Miami-Dade Public Library System will share archival best practices to help you organize and preserve your unique collection! Participants will receive a gently used archival quality documents box that they will be able to bring home, fill with their materials, and then bring into the second part of the workshop for a hands-on experience in archival processing.

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.
