For any archival colleagues in the DMV!
My colleague Victoria Van Hyning and I are excited to have a conversation with Dr. Shogan this Friday at the University of Maryland as part of the College of Information's Dean's Lecture series. We're eager to talk about the importance of archives and primary source literacy in the current moment. It would be great to have you our local archival colleagues join us for the pre-reception and the discussion.
