As we work busily on the move 
<http://www.internationalistbooks.org/2014/07/22/internationalist-books-and-community-center-is-moving/>, 
we want to share a couple of projects that we've been working on 
recently focused on preserving the history of Internationalist Books and 
Community Center.

*Internationalist Books Archival Collection at the Rubenstein Rare Book 
and Manuscript Library*

After working together with Kelly Wooten, Ibooks veteran and incredible 
librarian, we're thrilled to be able to announce that we have now placed 
a collection of records and materials from Internationalist Books and 
Community Center with the Rubenstein Rare Book and Manuscript Library. 
As we develop this archival collection, we are striving to preserve the 
many narratives of the life of this project, and the many amazing 
generations of the store. We're thrilled to be working with Kelly and 
the Rubenstein, which is also where Bob Sheldon's papers are held.

If you have pictures, flyers, zines, pamphlets, or other materials from 
your time in the shop that you'd like to place with the collection, 
please feel free to be in touch!

*The Internationalist Books Storytelling Project*

We've been working on the archival collection project since before we 
knew we were moving, but as we prepare for the move we've wanted to find 
more ways to make space for folks to share their memories of the decades 
of work, organizing and community that the Internationalist has had in 
downtown Chapel Hill. As part of this effort, we're starting The 
Internationalist Books Storytelling Project. We'd love contributions 
from near and far with memories and stories - big and small - about what 
Internationalist has meant for you and for the community. One of the 
wonderful things about Internationalist is that it provides a gathering 
place for communicating histories of struggle and resilience, 
reflections on the past and visions for the future.

The Internationalist Books Storytelling Project 
<http://internationalistbooksstorytellingproject.wordpress.com/> is a 
collaborative blog to gather memories, moments, stories and reflections 
on the place we have called home, the changing landscape of Chapel Hill, 
the rich histories of struggle in our area, and the many generations of 
a project that has provided a home for progressive and radical 
organizing in the South.

Submissions can be sent to ibooks AT internationalistbooks.org. We look 
forward to hearing and collecting stories, pictures and ephemera and 
sharing both our inspiring history and this next chapter of this amazing 
project's life with our community.
