Community Archival Resource Project (CARP)
EastSide Arts Alliance is establishing the Third World Community Archival Resource Project (CARP), housing a permanent collection of archival materials of audio, video, print, and digital documentation of the past and current histories of Third World communities and social movements (with a particular focus on the Bay Area from the 1960s to present).
This living and active archive will have an interactive function to service local communities through lectures, readings, forums, exhibitions, film showings, book fairs, oral history projects, public art projects, and the reproduction of primary resources to be accessible to residents, students and cultural workers.

Let’s share and preserve our histories.
Memory Keeping is an act of self-determination.
Join us for a Community Archive Day at EastSide Arts Alliance! This event aims to celebrate and preserve the rich history of Oakland’s Fruitvale District and the revolutionary Chicano movement of the 1960s and ‘70s. We will digitize materials in the afternoon and it will be followed by a panel discussion centered around the role of art in activism and community organizing in Fruitvale.
We encourage everyone who has photographs, fliers, and other pieces of ephemera to bring them and share your stories. These items will be digitized and become a part of EastSide’s Community Archive Resource Project (CARP), ensuring that our collective history is preserved for future generations.
