Virtually together?: The Digitization of the Community-Driven NC African American Cemetery Project

Summary

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Remote Archaeology: Taking Archaeology Online in the Wake of COVID-19" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

The North Carolina Office of State Archaeology and the North Carolina African American Heritage Commission have partnered to develop the NC African American Cemeteries Project. Over the last two years, the work has been primarily focused on offering community-driven, in-person workshops. This paper will report on the efforts to translate postponed and cancelled physical workshops into accessible and equitable digital content like virtual workshops, online subject-specific videos, and a website.
