Livin' La Vida Loca: Moving Legacy Digital Exhibits to Omeka S
When you have digital exhibits that date back to Y2K, what do you do?

Ours speakers will be Meg Mason, University Archivist at Syracuse University Special Collections Research Center; Jessica Rogers-Cerrato, Special Collections Librarian and Archivist, Harvard Graduate School of Education (formerly at Providence College); and Bryan Whitledge, Public Services Librarian, Central Michigan University.

E2 is ecstatic to continue the E2 Hour program series for 2024-2025. E2 Hour is designed to help us build community with each other around topics of common interest and concern. The vibe for these gatherings is low-key, informal, and collegial-one where everyone is welcome and ideas and experiences circulate freely. Each E2 Hour will begin with a presentation on a specific theme or topic and will finish with an open-ended conversation among attendees.
If you are interested in presenting at a future E2 Hour or giving a tour of your exhibition or repository, contact Amy Schindler amycschindler@gmail.com or Gwyn Hervochon gwynhervochon@boisestate.edu to volunteer and discuss further.
