From your latest projects to new tools and ways to approach familiar workflows, or creative ways you’ve used outreach to grow collections or collaborate with others, we want to hear all about it! We’re also encouraging participation by students, whether MLIS candidates or undergraduates you’ve collaborated with on research, digital projects, or exhibits. Poster presentations will also be solicited, with a separate CFP going out in late August for posters.

  • Advocacy, diversity, and inclusion in archival research, education, training, and collections

  • Creative approaches to funding, physical resources, and staffing
  • Innovative strategies for outreach and community partnerships
  • Making our collections accessible to a wider range of patrons and audiences
  • Successful methodologies for creating and sustaining collections management policies
  • Raising awareness of collections through events, exhibits, and publications

Additional details regarding presentation proposals:

  • Presentations can be done solo or in groups of 2-3 presenters.
