Activism History at Grinnell
One of the main purposes of the Voicebox is to record and preserve Grinnell's activism history. The Voicebox historian is in charge of keeping files and records of activist groups at Grinnell. He or she will hopefully also be able to play a positive, active role in facilitating current activist projects and campaigns, by making past resources available to current groups.
Each semester the historian will be responsible with editing and publishing The Voicebox: Grinnell's Activism Roundup, an 8 ½ by 11 magazine to be distributed freely in the campus center. The magazine will be a chance for activists to share what projects they have been involved with over the past half year.
We are interested in collecting flyers, interviews with activists, press releases, posters, editorials, meeting minutes, summaries of semester activities, etc.
If you have any historical matericals, let us know by .
