  • 1.  C&UA SECTION COFFEE CHAT - May 25, 12PM CST - Collab w/ MArS!

    Posted May 16, 2022 04:30 PM
    Good day, SAA colleagues!

    The College & University Archives Section Steering Committee invites you to join us for our May joint coffee chat with the Military Archives Section (MArS)! Mark your calendars for May 25th, 2022, at 12pm CST, 1pm EST. No need to register - you'll find the link to the chat below.

    We welcome back to the coffee chats Molly Bompane, Curator at U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. This month, Molly plans to talk about display spaces and their many uses. See her synopsis below:

    Reimagining interpretive spaces and collection materials as a way to stay relevant in a world of ever-changing priorities.

    We will be discussing ways to reimagine and rethink: display space, how we use collections, and how we connect and interact with stakeholders. Conceptualizing new spaces and reinterpreting our collections is a powerful way to reinvigorate them, stay relevant within a given mission, and engage new audiences.

    We welcome all sections to join us! In our over two years of chats, we have learned many lessons, not the least, that archives practice truly transcends section boundaries. We have experienced much-added value when non-C&UA section members have contributed. Whether you want to contribute or simply listen in, we're happy to hear from all members.

    We look forward to seeing you at this month's chat!

    Sincerely,
    The College & University Archives Section Steering Committee
