We invite you to attend the joint annual section meeting of WAS and PLASC. Section chairs will open the meeting with an overview of the roles and activities of their sections. The main focus of the meeting will be a panel presentation on community web archiving efforts by public libraries to preserve underrepresented, at-risk voices. Anna Trammel of the Internet Archive's Community Webs program will outline IA's work to train and support public library staff in building web archives. Allyson Smalley of Chicago Public Library will talk about the Korean American Archives project, which has recently expanded to preserve community organizations' websites. Dylan Gaffney will share his experiences at the Forbes Library, a long-time Community Webs member having partnered on a NHPRC Archives Collaboratives grant and university internship project.
We look forward to this informative and inspirational panel! Following the presentations, there will be time reserved for questions and discussion.
