Journal Project in Collaboration with Fredericksburg High School History in the Making. The Black America Covid Project, HSGE Gutman Library and Fredericksburg School District have committed to archiving journals on schooling as part of a collection of educators, parents, and student voice from the double pandemic. Learning to tell one’s story through writing as a daily exercise is not only an academic skill, it is a practice that builds community and fosters self-care. During the journal writing workshop, we’ll also offer a hands-on craft session. Harvard Gutman Librarians from Special Collections and Preservation Services will show you how to sew your own journal from a list of common supplies; as well as supply writing prompts and tips to craft a journal entry. We encourage participants to personalize their journals on the inside and out! We look forward to including the voices of Fredericksburg in Harvard's Gutman Library's Special Collections.View the recording to year's end Journal Celebration event May 19, 2021 (here)
