    Posted Oct 15, 2025 04:34 PM

    The Archival Workers' Collective (AWC) has launched a story-telling initiative to gather and amplify the stories about the impacts of the Trump Administration on archives and archival workers. Have you been impacted by reductions in force, federal funding cuts, anti-DEIA initiatives, or other issues since the beginning of this year? Please share your story, to share information and brainstorm opportunities for collective care and strategies. Share your story in the AWC story-gathering form and browse our blog to see the submitted stories!

    If you have been impacted by federal layoffs, please view this Society of American Archivists resources for impacted federal workers and Historic Preservation & Cultural Resources Mutual Aid Network: Interest Form.

    In solidarity,

    Members of the Archival Workers' Collective
