The Public Library Archives and Special Collection Section seeks additional lightning talk submissions for our section meeting at the SAA Annual Meeting. Deadline for proposals extended through May 24!
Please share this opportunity with public library colleagues!
This year's
PLASC meeting will feature lightning talks highlighting community-focused projects by public library archives and special collections.
Submit a short description (under 300 words) of a lightning talk on a public library archives or special collections project that might serve as a model for other institutions looking to involve their communities in archival collecting and programs. This could be a planned or executed public program, collecting initiative, or collaboration with a community organization. Successes and challenges welcome! If selected, you will have 5 minutes to present on your project with fellow public library archives innovators. The PLASC meeting will be Saturday, August 3, 2019 at 1:45pm.
