3 | Ryan Leimkuehler | rleimkue@ksu.edu | Building Alliances Outside Our Organizations | Depending on the number of interested parties this could be lighting talks or a panel discussion. I envision a presentation about building alliances with those groups or organizations outside our own archive/library. My session would likely focus on developing partnerships across the university as we address records management inside and outside the libraries. We need buy in from campus IT, each college unit, University admin, legal counsel, etc. This session could focus on "how do you do this," "tips and tricks to getting partnerships started," "how do you keep partnerships going?" and "case studies of how you developed partnerships at your organization." I would like this to be a practical session where attendees have actionable items they can take back home with them and start implementing. Not limited to academic institutions or records management; I think variety in the panel would be helpful for any size of organization. | Jessika Drmacich, Carrie Mastley, Zach Brodt, Anna Trammell, Michele Fricke, Katie Howell, Josh Schneider, Sofia Becerra-Licha | cmastley@library.msstate.edu zlb2@pitt.edu atrammell@tacomalibrary.org michelemfricke@gmail.com katie.howell@uncc.edu, jschne@stanford.edu | |||||||||||||||||||||
4 | Michelle Chiles | mchiles@providence.edu | Archives Overhaul - impacts of strategic plans and institutional goals on the growth and development of the archives | This session could be formatted in a variety of ways - roundtable, panel discussion, or incubator session. I'd like a focus on strategies and discussing real impacts (positive and negative) of these types of library/archives department overhauls as they fit into larger campus strategic plans and initiatives. For context, Providence College Archives and Special Collections is undergoing a major department review through the College's Continuous Improvement Program (a campus-wide program that impacts departments on a 10 year cycle). Through this process we are reviewing and revising all areas of the Archives and Special Collections program, including collections stewardship, staffing, campus collaborations, physical spaces, and including campus-wide and library strategic plans. We will also be making major proposals for areas of improvement to the department based on the outcomes of this review. | [full for now] Jennifer Better, Abby Stambach, Taïk Bourhis, Annie Reid (interested if need additional presenters) | sbecerra@kennedy-center.org areid1@usfca.edu | |||||||||||||||||||||
5 | Scott Brouwer | Archivist La Crosse (WI) Public Library Archives | sbrouwer@lacrosselibrary.org | Innovative Outreach | My initial idea is a panel discussion with 3-4 different presenters, each presenting creative programming/outreach that highlights collections, raises positive community (whether that be city, county, state, university, corporation, etc.) awareness for your institution, and reaches people in the community who otherwise would not consider attending Archives programs, have no immediate research needs, or are unfamiliar with Archives altogether. The panelists would all discuss what has worked well and what hasn't; the amount of effort, time, money, and administrative goodwill required; the collaborations that make the programs possible; and how the programs benefit current patrons, potential patrons, and their own institutions. What I will be highlighting is the Dark La Crosse suite of programs, which includes walking tours, trolley tours, an annual stage production, co-production of a local TV show, and a video series/podcast collaboration with the regional newspaper of record. Dark La Crosse presents researched content that features the seedier side of La Crosse's rich cultural history. | [all full for now] Anthony Wright de Hernandez (I do a weekly live internet broadcast on Twitch sharing materials with viewers from around the world. This seems like it would fit with the panel idea you have.) | lauren.gray@ks.gov antwri@vt.edu | |||||||||||||||||||||
6 | Rosemary K. J. Davis | rosemary.davis@yale.edu | Anxiety, slowness, archival labor, expectations | Just a glimmer of thoughts at this point but essentially: I'm interested in making space for folks to talk about conflicts, perceptions, and expectations related to archival labor + concepts of productivity, self-worth, professional reputation (personal and institutional), and anxiety (about one's self but also about the world in which our labor takes place). What does it mean when institutions prioritize illusions of control over the lived experience of workers? What are the domino effects of hyper-competent archivists burning out and being disenfranchised from their own work? How can slowness and complaint function as advocacy and empowerment? | [all full for now] Jessica Chapel; Rachel Searcy (maybe?!); Kara Flynn; Lauren White; Krista Oldham | [all full for now] jchapel@law.harvard.edu; rachel.searcy@nyu.edu; kf025@uark.edu; lauren.white@nara.gov; koldham@tamu.edu | |||||||||||||||||||||
7 | Blake Relle | blake.relle@sos.la.gov | Change of Technology | I would like to have a session that provides tips and ideas on how to help researchers who come to the Archives adopt to using new technology. For example, the Louisiana State Archives has the old microfilm readers that our researchers use to look at microfilm. The Archives purchased digital microfilm readers to replace our older micorfilm readers. The digital microfilm readers are a little slower than the old readers and they have more steps involved when using these readers, which may frustrate some researchers. How can we help our researchers mirgrate to using the new digital readers or new technology that they may or may not have experience using? | Jane Cadwalader Alan Munshower; Zachary Bodnar; Katherine Martinez | jcadwalader@azlibrary.gov alanmun@vt.edu; zbodnar@14beacon.org; martinek@newschool.edu | |||||||||||||||||||||
8 | Ann Merryman | merrymaa@uscupstate.edu | Scalability, outreach, funding, and collaboration on popular projects for Lone Arrangers | I'm interested in having a session for Lone Arrangers to discuss their experiences with projects that suddenly "take off" in popularity, forcing them to confront issues of scalability, collaboration, additional labor, managing expectations, finding funding, and other hurdles that larger institutions don't necessarily face in the same way. How does a good idea suddenly expand beyond institutional borders...through deliberate outreach, serendipity, or some combination? How can Lone Arrangers manage such projects when faced with limitations on time, personnel, finances, space, and technology? How can faculty / departmental partnerships and institutional expertise outside the archives support the growth of these types of projects? Is it ever appropriate to just say "no" to the expansion of a project that garners this type of sudden expanded interest? This could be an Incubator session, or a Panel discussion, depending on number of people interested in participating. | Renae Rapp; Autumn Johnson | rrapp@sunymaritime.edu; Autumnjohnon@georgiasouthern.edu | |||||||||||||||||||||
9 | Hope Bibens | hope.bibens@drake.edu | Teaching an Intro to Archives course for undergrads | Do you offer an Intro to Archives course (or something similar) for undergraduate students at your institution? I'm interested in a session where we could share lesson plans, assignments, syllabi, what's worked well, and what's fallen flat. How can we improve these courses and better link them to the curriculum? Depending on the number, I think a lightning session might lend itself well to this topic. | Jessica Perkins Smith, Eirk Bauer, Megan Atkinson, Kayla Harris, Rachel Grove Rohrbaugh; Heather Perez, Lisa Vallen, Dana Bronson, Marc Levitt | jsmith@library.msstate.edu; matkinson@tntech.edu ebauer@salemstate.edu, kharris2@udayton.edu, grover@etown.edu, heather.perez@stockton.edu, evallen@gsu.edu, bronsodm@whitman.edu, vaxtang2010@yahoo.com (Marc) | |||||||||||||||||||||
10 | Kate Hujda | kathryn.hujda@mnhs.org | Acquisitions in a New Age | I'm interested in putting together a lightning session on acquisition work since March 2020. Topics could include: challenging acquisitions (specific examples); designing and implementing new institutional acquisition procedures; changing attitudes and approaches to acquisition work on a personal level; revising appraisal criteria; implementing new accessioning procedures; developing/updating collecting plans; etc. What practices do we wish to continue moving forward, and what are we ready to leave behind? | Kaitlin D'Amico; Jordan Jancosek, Karen Eberhart, Claudia Willett, Kira Dietz | kdamico@azlibrary.gov; jordan_jancosek@brown.edu; karen_eberhart@brown.edu; claudia.willett@asu.edu; kadietz@vt.edu | |||||||||||||||||||||
11 | Web Archiving at Small Institutions | I am interested in putting together a session on web archiving at small institutions. The format can be flexible basd on how many interested parties there are and what we agree upon. I am heading up our web archiving program at a public library thanks to the Community Webs Program at the Internet Archive. I am interested in a wide array of topics such as best practices, challenges, descriptive policies, collection development, community input, etc. If you are interested, please email me: gmcgann@tippcitylibrary.org | Annie Benefiel; Rebecca Kuske; Lungile Luthuli | benefiea@gvsu.edu; kusker@uwstout.edu; lungile.dapresh.luthuli@gmail.com | |||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | Daniel Hartwig | dhartwig@iastate.edu | Changing work culture | I am interested in a session examining changes/improvements to work culture, including but not limited to, agile. What lessons have we learned from the pandemic? What worked? What didn't? How can we create and sustain adapative, collaborative, team-based environments? | Vincent Barraza(we have recently implemented an Agile Project Management style system in our Library/Archives and are the very beginning of learning/utilizing it)- Alicia Patterson (Utilizing technology via Microsoft during the pandemic across regions and implementation of electronic records management for the entire organization) | vbarraza@xula.edu; patterson@WAPA.gov | |||||||||||||||||||||
13 | Chas Cassidy | kaylagc2@illinois.edu | Place-specific concerns in archives | Panel discussion on place- and region-specific practices/projects within archives. Archival work takes place in specific geographic spaces. Our arrangement and description of archival materials is informed by both the location of records creation and the setting in which we complete this labor. How does your location impact the work that you do? Have you navigated unique access concerns for archives that arise from the geographies in which they are created, processed, and stored? Potential themes could include natural disaster preparedness, names and naming in geographic metadata, evolving historical narratives and reparative work, or regional initiatives currently underway. | Sam Winn, Caitlin Rizzo, Saman Quraishi | samwinn@email.arizona.edu, crizzo@ias.edu, saman.quraishi@cept.ac.in | |||||||||||||||||||||
14 | Veronica Denison | vldenison@ksu.edu | Enormous change: Disaster Recovery | In May 2018, Hale Library at Kansas State University suffered from a fire, and all of our special collections and archives were packed up, moved off-site, and were inaccessible until the reload began in April 2021. Disaster recovery has been an enormous obstacle to everything from processing collections, accepting donations, and reference services. We would like to present a session on the handling of disaster recovery, beginning to provide services after a disaster, and how we plan to use this enormous event as a chance to "start over." We are looking for others who have gone through similar changes or a disaster to present with. | [all full for now] Helena Egbert (co-worker of Veronica's), Lisa Vallen, Stephanie Shreffler, Caitlin Reeves Greenamyre (mold! yikes!), Amanda Lanthorne | hhelena@ksu.edu, evallen@gsu.edu, sshreffler1@udayton.edu, greenamyrec@ctsnet.edu, alanthorne@sdsu.edu | |||||||||||||||||||||
15 | Lydia Tang | lydia.tang@lyrasis.org | Adapting and Making It Work: transferable skills and starting over | I'm interested in convening an incubator session (open to other formats) featuring folks who come to archives from nontraditional backgrounds and also who leave traditional archival roles. Is our concept of success too narrow? Do we devalue the non-lis backgrounds we bring to our roles? The goal of this session would be to have frank conversations, particularly about leaving the "archivist" job title to put transferable skills to practice, and how a nontraditional path has opened up opportunities for survival if not transformation. | Laura LaPlaca--director of National Comedy Center archives ("started over" in this role via media studies PhD/tenure track path); Caroline J. White, Archives & Manuscript Librarian, Robert S. Cox Special Collections and University Archives Research Center, UMass Amherst Libraries (spent 19 years as an editor for Viking Penguin and Penguin Classics; I organized a session on this very topic for New England Archivists! but that meeting was cancelled due to the pandemic); Cathrine Giles, State Records Branch Manager, Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives (retail background and found my way into records management). Déirdre Joyce, Head of Digital Stewardship & the Digital Library Program at Syracuse University Libraries. I started as an archivist (who somewhat backed into the profession) and grew into a digital libraries role and now working "archives adjacent". Sylvia Hernandez-Archivist, The Texas Collection, Baylor UIniversity (Undergrad degree is in Interior design and spent years working in college athletic ticket offices.) DiAnna Hemsath, Archivist, University of Nebraska Medical Center.; Jessica Kowalski, Product Sales Manager, Quartex (MSLIS with a concentration in archives; worked in major donor giving and decided to work in sales for a publisher so I can work with many repositories rather than one). Cristina Prochilo, Archives Manager at Historic New England (Archives is career #1, my first was in historic preservation of buildings and nonprofit management.) Alison Quirion, Associate Archivist (contract) for Sony Santa Monica Studio (completed MLIS in 2021, spent 25 years in entertainment marketing, learned quickly that transferable skills meant very little compared to relevant work expierence). | llaplaca@comedycenter.org; cjwhite@umass.edu; cathrine.giles@ky.gov; dfjoyce@syr.edu; sylvia_hernandez@baylor.edu; dianna.hemsath@unmc.edu; jessicak@amedu.com; cprochilo@historicnewengland.org; alison.quirion@gmail.com | |||||||||||||||||||||
16 | Lydia Tang | lydia.tang@lyrasis.org | Turning the lens on ourselves: Volunteer labor, equity, and sustainability | [Possible Special Focus session.] When we advocate for compensating for archival expertise and labor, can we look also at the overarching systems of our profession? While idealistic and value-driven, it also whittles out who can afford to do volunteer labor, who is rewarded and incentivized to volunteer, and exposes challenges with volunteer labor supply and continuity. Volunteer-driven projects, whether it is a professional organization or open source software, can be inclusive projects that transcend institutional boundaries for the benefit of the profession and greater good, and yet may also perpetuate overwork culture and an unsustainable assumption that maintenance and innovation can occur without cost. Are our models of volunteerism outdated when it comes to assuming that everyone has faculty or faculty-equivalent obligations, pressure, and rewards, as well as either allocation of time during the workweek or the sacrifice of “double work” of essentially working more than a single job to accomplish our goals? What should give: to help individuals sustain our well-being and avoid burnout, and build a more realistic “business model” for making sure that volunteer-driven projects are sustainable? | Megan Mummey (I've proposed a very similar but primarily student focused presentation below in row 20, but I think there's a lot intersection between the topic); Yuki Hibben, Virginia Commonwealth University Libraries: I'm very interested in this topic -- but may focus more on volunteerism within organizations -- not necessarily in professional organizations. As our university and library system increasingly supports shared governance, there are more opportunities for staff to participate on committees, task forces, and professional organizations. While these service opportunities are great for inclusion and staff development, they have also opened up questions about evaluation criteria, compensation, and equity in positions that don't typically include service as a job responsibility. COVID-19 has also affected hiring at a time when university enrollments are decreasing. To address staff shortages, interim appointments (two or three-hats model) are common and can continue for years--these arrangements can also create great opportunities for development, but can also create issues with equity. | megan.mummey@uky.edu, ydhibben@vcu.edu | |||||||||||||||||||||

Have you had similar challenges or questions? Potential topics: IRB process, survey design issues, data analysis tips or learning curves, how to best present data, publishing difficulties, or decisions on where to keep your data (is it public and where, or why is it not available)? Can we learn from each other and make the process easier/more understandable for those of us who are interested in research projects, but who do not have strong backgrounds in this area? | Kate Schlesinger University of Arizona.

20 | Sean Fisher | sean.fisher@mass.gov (seanmfisher1890s@gmail.com) | Is There a Future for Archival Supplies, the Companies that Sell Them to Us, and the Manufacturers Who Make Them? | A topic that fascinates me & will have broad implications, if persons could be found to speak on the record: What is the future of the archival supply companies and the manufacturers that make their products that support our physical collections? During the past 20 years, the industry has seen manufacturers go out of business. Private equity firms have bought some long-running supply companies, with some negative impacts. Are there types of archival supplies that the profession depends on which will no longer be manufactured in 10 years? How has the pandemic-related supply chain issues impacted the manufacturers and supply companies? This session will hear from representatives from both supply vendors and manufacturers regarding a potential future the profession may face and ask what role should archivists play in future business decisions within this narrow industry segment. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | Megan Mummey | megan.mummey@uky.edu | Issues of archival labor - Students, temporary workers, and volunteers | I'm interested in talking about student labor and compensation in archives. I would personally want to talk about my efforts over the last six months to raise our student wage. It's currently very low (to the point of exploitation). I've been a part of a group asked to look at this across our university libraries system and it has been surprisingly a hard sell to librarians at my institution. I want to talk about what I've learned from the experience, best ways to frame a pitch to raise student wages, morality of relying on student labor, effects of the pandemic on the labor market in libraries/archives. Other possible topics for the presentation could include implementation of the best practices guide for students and internships, what do we owe our student workers, issues of volunteer labor or temporary labor. | Chris Tanguay, Alex McGee, Nikki Lynn Thomas, Rebecca Baugnon, Annalisa Moretti (if I'm not too late!) | ctanguay@mit.edu; nikki.thomas@uncc.edu; baugnonr@uncw.edu; annalisa_moretti@harvard.edu | |||||||||||||||||||||
22 | Dominique Daniel | daniel@oakland.edu | Scan and return / digital surrogates | I would like to organize an incubator session or panel discussion to discuss the benefits and challenges of “scan and return” archiving practices – namely, acquiring and posting online scanned copies of old photos or other analog materials whose originals are not in the custody of the archives but remain with their creator or current owner. At my institution, we implemented this on the occasion of a Black Alumni Association reunion where the digital surrogates played a central role. I am interested in the perspectives of other archivists on the theoretical, ethical and practical implications of this practice. The 2016 article by C. Shein and E. Lapworth ("Say Yes to Digital Surrogates: Strengthening the Archival Record in the Postcustodial Era," Journal of Western Archives) is a good starting point for such a discussion and the session could examine these issues in light of recent developments – especially antiracist and DEI practices, and the covid pandemic. | Zack Stein.

23 | Josh Schneider, Hanna Ahn | jschne@stanford.edu, hahn1@stanford.edu | Postcustodial collaborations | We'd like to organize an incubator session or panel discussion about non-traditional collaborations, especially that support postcustodial archival engagement and that emphasize supporting historically marginalized communities. This last summer we worked with our university's Centers for Equity, Community, and Leadership to sponsor 10 paid student interns affiliated with those centers. The interns conducted oral histories of historically marginalized staff and student experiences during COVID, processed collections of marginalized faculty, and created online exhibits spotlighting underepresented communities. It would be great to hear from others who have explored these kinds of collaborations -- how did they get off the ground, what worked and what didn't, strategies for evolving or making these programs sustainable, etc. | Alia Levar Wegner.

Controlling the Chaos during disaster recovery, expansion, reconfiguration projects, or … | Have you ever dealt with contractor related issues during an archival project or recovery situation? We have! We would like to organize a panel discussion related to contractor induced chaos. After Hurricane Ida, we dealt with many contractor issues that stemmed from lack of communication, haphazard planning, absence of quality checks, supply chain issues as well as overpromising and under delivering. From this experience, we acquired knowledge on how to best handle contractor created issues in order to mitigate barriers and move the project forward. We would like to present what we learned and how to best handle situations such as this. Have you experienced a similar situation? What helped you overcome the hurdles you experienced? What set you back even further? What advice would you give to others in a comparable situation? | |||||||||||||||||||||||
25 | Nicole Critchley, Susannah Broyles | ncritchley@txstate.edu s_b623@txstate.edu | Accessible metadata: Implementing platforms and making finding aids available to the public | Panel Discussion format? There are a lot of hurdles to jump to get ArchivesSpace or other finding aid platforms accessible to the public, no matter what the size of our institution. What project management issues came up for you? How did you take this large goal and make it opperational? Texas State University Libraries recently made their ArchivesSpace instance public, incorporating the finding aids for University Archives and The Wittliff Collections after over a year of working on this project. This presentation will provide a high-level overview of the journey from mirgration from two different systems, creating a shared style guide and input manual, performing data cleanup, designing how the PUI should look, how ArchivesSpace and Texas Archival Resources Online work together, and finally planning the marketing to the university. We still aren't finished, with many parallel projects, like a new digital collections platform, are still in limbo. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
26 | Kate Schlesinger | kschlesinger@email.arizona.edu | Transforming MLIS curricula for Liberatory Memory Work: Student and Emerging Scholars presenting Works in Progress | I'm considering an incubator session that presents the work-in-progress of 2-3 MLIS , Phd students or emerging scholars (research or papers) around the topic of how we might re envision MLIS education specifically to align with the shift from object-centered to people centered archival practices. Topics might include reparations, redescription, decolonization, trauma-informed archival labor, and diversity in collections and staffing. How are MLIS programs preparing students for these new areas of praxis, or not?
