Dr Kelisha B. Graves, Chief Research, Education, and Programs Officer of The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, will share the challenges of transformation that come with an effort to digitize, catalog and build a platform designed to inspire new generations to continue and advance the work of Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mrs Coretta Scott King, and to empower change makers who are continuing the effort today.
This session will focus on the archives, collections and everything associated with preserving the plethora of documents, paintings, objects, and compelling audio and visual records that tell the important story (and official living memorial) of the lives, legacies, and teachings of Dr King and Mrs King.
Along with the practical challenges of defining and identifying many of the metadata categories, Dr Graves will cover the strategic direction of The King Library and Archives and its plans for the future.
