Waiwai Collective presents a series of three genealogy workshops by Ami Mulligan and Sarah Tamashiro.

All levels of genealogical experience are welcome to participate.

Basic overview on archives: how to navigate them, and what type of information they can provide.

Objects become heirlooms because of the stories applied to them. Participants will bring in an object and engage in a process called “close looking.”
