The Program Committee for the MAC Annual Meeting, which will be held May 2-4 in Des Moines, Iowa, is extending the call for session proposals!
The deadline for submitting proposals that explore the theme "Sowing Seeds of Change" is now Monday, August 28 at 5pm CST. Drawing on Iowa's agricultural traditions and historic prairie ecosystem, we encourage you to consider areas of growth, cultivation, and restoration in our profession. As our professional landscape continues to evolve and change, how do we adapt and implement new approaches, processes, and technologies? When do we go back to our roots, and when do we plant for the future? What are some ways we have nurtured our collections, patrons, and ourselves as archivists and allied professionals?
The Program Committee encourages submissions from newer professionals and members of underrepresented groups. Membership in MAC is not required.
For a list of possible topics, full details about the proposal process, and ways to connect with collaborators, visit the
MAC 2024 Call for Session Proposals website.

The Bentley Historical Library acknowledges that coerced cessions of land by the Anishinaabeg and Wyandot, including the grant by the Anishinaabeg under the Treaty of the Foot of the Rapids for "the college at Detroit" so that their children could be educated, made the University of Michigan possible, and we seek to reaffirm the ancestral and contemporary ties of these peoples to the lands where the University now stands.
