Prioritizing getting the by-narrator archive infrastructure built, which will take some time. Include these OH-related projects that we are already working on, and we will add more when we have the foundational infrastructure done.

Link/point to this glossary from the by-narrator archive's keywords & themes

What is public housing?

With more 'controversial' terms, can overview the scope of the debate, and how we are using/defining

Traditional/S9

Section 8

Carceral housing

What can be included vs. what our focus is

Get involved!

Form to be interviewed

Form for additional archive access (ex, interviews that have specific use restrictions)

Form for interview withdrawal

Ethical considerations: description of ethical stances with regards to collecting, processing, and holding interviews

Foster care (Shakira brought this conversation up a few months ago)?

Notes from Tiff on how to approach writing this copy for the website: "I like your idea of discussing it with stakeholders, esp residents. I think we should focus this convo on how the OH archive/corps and Programs team defines it/who are we interest in, which for me is based on two things: Participants self-ID, and meaningful experience (i.e. living in) publicly funded or owned housing. I'd rather propose a definition and have people respond than leave it wide open."

Bios should make note of their positionalities (ie, potential biases)

-There are a few different lineages I focused on: interviewing/life stories, archiving, pedagogy/education, activist/liberation-focused scholarship.
-We could divide based on types of lineage, but many of these people have influence us in more than one lineage, so I organized based on geographical proximity
-Like the by-narrator archive, we wouldn't have to have all of these pages written and up before we launch the website. We will start with Beauty Turner, Timuel Black, and Grace Lee Boggs

Yellow branches are notes from Liú about the given section

Red branches are the pages we are focused on in the first iteration

"Lean more" links that direct to sections of the glossary

White House/politician housing (board member and others often bring this up, I'm a bit skeptical about value of including it. But it is a form of public housing and that is the part that I think is worth elevating)

NARRATOR AFTERCARE RESOURCES

We've also had conversations about how maybe the creative/curated work is not so segmented/isolated on the website, but maybe more integrated throughout

Other archival policy?

This doesn't need to be in the internal prototype,
