Preserve the Baltimore Uprising is a digital repository that seeks to preserve and make accessible original content that was captured and created by individual community members, grassroots organizations, and witnesses to the protests that followed the death of Freddie Gray on April 19, 2015. This digital archive, built on the Omeka platform, represents a powerful collaboration between university scholars, the Maryland Historical Society, and the public. This session will explore the capabilities of Omeka and the experience of researchers in creating this innovative and consequential project.
