Hello all,
I am excited to announce that the Society of Southwest Archivists (SSA) will be hosting its annual meeting, "Respect for Hybridity: Creating Inclusive and Accessible Archives," April 26-29 in Albuquerque. As the name suggests, this will be the FIRST meeting that SSA is hosting where nearly every presentation and workshop will be provided synchronously for both in-person and virtual attendees. We are using the OWL technology to create collaborative spaces where both virtual and in-person presenters/attendees can engage with each other in a truly inclusive and accessible manner. The program/sessions for 4/27 and 4/28 are now online; some of the offerings include:
- Diversifying the Archives: Archival Projects Delivered Through a Diverse Lens
- Hybrid Archives: Expanding Access While Building Our Skills
- Shining a Light on the Opioid Industry Using Digital Archives
- Creating More Inclusive Minimum Description: Implementing Inclusive Practices at Accessioning
- D.I.Y. Feminism: Utilizing Special Collections as Spaces for Creative Activism
- Community Archiving Workshop and Audiovisual Collections Care in Tribal Archives
...and many more! Consider attending in-person in beautiful Old Town Albuquerque ($175 for early bird members until March 27) OR participating virtually for a flat rate of $50 (members/non-members, right up the last minute).
Hope to see you in-person OR via Zoom!
Jonathan
