There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

VHS tapes, recipes, birth and immunization records, letters, heirlooms, passports, a shoebox of photographs — these are among the tangible artifacts that make up the family archive. Amid the tangible, we recognize the intangible and ephemeral matter, such as oral histories, songs, missing records, objects lost in migration now only filed in memory.
How do we open a creative space for these often undervalued inventories?
In this generative workshop, we will consider this question by engaging the work of multimedia writers such as Mary-Kim Arnold and Dianna Khoi Nguyen, and by experimenting with the familial materials that we’ve gathered, how to bring these documents and objects into our writing, and how to write into that empty gaps of what’s absent from the archive.”
