2 | Example: Archivists as teachers! Looking to collaborate--possibly a lightning round?--of tips & tricks on how to use archival materials when teaching high school and undergraduate students | Example: Marcella Huggard, mdwiget@gmail.com | Example: Currently have 2 people lined up, looking for more | Example: Benn Joseph, benn.joseph@northwestern.edu; | |||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | Looking to collaborate on a standard panel or lightning talk with other academic archivists who have partnered with their campus’s Black Student Unions to better fill gaps in their institutional history and/or celebrate recent anniversaries. This could be part of a broader discussion of how archives can help support diversity and inclusion efforts on our campuses. | Hayley Jackson, jackha01@luther.edu Jessica Ballard: ballard9@illinois.edu | Rachael Acheson, achesonr@iastate.edu. (Iowa State University. Not with Black Student Union specifically, at least while I've been here, but with Latinx and AAPI Greek orgs for oral histories, and with student organizers to document campus protests.) Mark Sprang, Bowling Green State University, sprangm@bgsu.edu (Next month is our BSU's 50th Anniversary. We have done several popup exhibits and the like at the annual campus Black Issues Conference, as well as another event called Beyond the Dream). Annie Benefiel, Grand Valley State University, benefiea@gvsu.edu - Not Black Student Union, but we have a lot of collaborative community archives/digital collection projects that have created digital archival collections for Native American, Jewish, LGBT+, and migrant farming communities in West Michigan. Cliff Hight, Kansas State University, chight@ksu.edu (We have worked with our BSU to share history with current students, receive historical materials from them, and partner with our Alumni Association for various events that include a Black Alumni Reunion that will pay tribute to the 50th anniversary of the start of our BSU). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
4 | Looking to discuss web archives in various archival institutions. The issues of collection (tools), preservation, description, and public access could all be touched on. I am in a university archives and we use Archive-It to capture the university's web presence. Archivists using different tools and/or in different settings could really give a wide perspective on how to start web archiving and how to create access for patrons. Would love to hear any other ideas relating to web archives! | Ashley Howdeshell, ahowdeshell@luc.edu | Kelsey O'Connell kelsey.oconnell@northwestern.edu | Jennifer Johnson, jennifer_i_johnson@cargill.com, I can talk about why we chose Hanzo over Archive-It, issues we have with capturing internal web sites and the rudimentary way I do it. Would have little to contribute about access. | Kayla Harris kharris2@udayton.edu We also use Archive-It at the University of Dayton but capture more than just our institutional website. I’m interested in how to get people to use the web archives (we added the seeds to our EBSCO discovery layer that my colleagues and I have presented about). | Ed Busch buschedw@msu.edu, Lydia Tang ltang5@msu.edu are part of an in-house microgrant to explore capturing/crawling local politics websites. Local election and political websites are highly ephemeral due to their nature, especially for losing candidates. Thus, they are highly vulnerable to loss to the historical record. This grant proposal is to explore the capture and curation of local political and election websites. We are creating and working with a focus group to create a list of local URLs that would be of interest to future researchers. We are exploring the use of a grad student to perform the Archive-It crawling and QA of captures. We are also collaborating with the Library of Michigan for their input in this project. | Ely Sheinfeld esheinfeld@bsu.edu We use Archive-It at Ball State to capture our institutional website and Ball State-related pages, websites of local community organizations and businesses, and Indiana-architecture based pages. I have also used Webrecorder to capture community-created websites/Facebook pages established in the now-successful attempt to stop the building of an electric arc kiln furnace dust refinery plant (a potentially life-threatening polluter) in our town. | Robert Manley, Digital Processing Archivist, Washington University in St. Louis, rmanley@wustl.edu | |||||||||||||||||||
5 | Looking to discuss advocating for archives with your congressional delegation. I am a political papers archivist who regularly meets with members of Congress about the importance of donating their materials to a repository and could speak to that piece, but am interested in having a larger converation about advocacy to Congress and public policy in general. | Hope Bibens, hope.bibens@drake.edu | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | Looking to collaborate on a standard panel or lightning talk about programming and outreach in the archives, particularly focused on the Suffrage Centennial. | Megan Rohleder megan.rohleder@ks.gov | Simone Munson, Wisconsin Historical Society simone.munson@wisconsinhistory.org Jaycie Vos (University of Northern Iowa) jaycie.vos@uni.edu and Tessa Wakefield (University of Northern Iowa) tessa.wakefield@uni.edu - not about suffrage specifically, but about outreach activities with a wide variety of on-campus, community, and K-12 audiences; Vic Fleischer, Head of Archival Services, University of Akron, svfleis@uakron.edu ; Katey Watson, Purdue University Archives and Special Collections watso217@purdue.edu ; Derek Webb, Mississippi University for Women dswebb@muw.edu | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | Would like to do a panel on archives putting linked data to work. I got a university grant this year to write Wikipedia pages for our first five university presidents. A student will be paid to create these pages, as well as create/edit info for Wikidata. I'd like to create a panel that give archivists easy/achievable projects for those just now exploring linked data projects for their repositories. | April Anderson-Zorn, aander2@ilstu.edu | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | Interested in putting together a standard presentation about applying critical theory to archival practice in order to advance social justice. I would apply Jacques Derrida's theory of hospitality to assess how we as archivists can create more welcoming environments for our users and potential users. Potential title: "Deconstructing the Archives." | Taylor Fisk Henning, tfisk2@illinois.edu | - Grace Moran, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, gmoran6@illinois.edu, Pre-Professional Graduate Assistant for the Office of Digital Strategies. I am interested in doing something social justice related as well. I am looking at considering an end-to-end documentation strategy regarding university committees and efforts related to gender equity at the University of Illinois. I will email you! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | Many universities and other institutions have recently celebrated or will soon reach major milestone anniversaries. Looking to discuss how archives have collaborated with other departments/offices and leveraged the historical nature of an anniversary to draw attention to the archives; selection of major anniversary-year projects; and lessons learned. Probably a panel or lightning round, but open to ideas. | Adriana Harmeyer, aharmey@purdue.edu | Katie Nash, katie.nash@wisc.edu (need to consult with other staff first before committing, but am interested); Megan Badgley-Malone +1, badgle10@msu.edu (celebrating the MSU Archives' 50th anniversary); Matt Gorzalski, mgorzalski@lib.siu.edu, celebrating SIUC's 150th); Vic Fleischer, svfleis@uakron.edu, celebrating The University of Akron's 150th | Just finished celebrating our 150th. Archives was integral to planning and execution of many aspects. Utilized and promoted our digital resources as part of this. Daardi Sizemore Mixon daardi.mixon@mnsu.edu | Jennifer Johnson, jennifer_i_johnson@cargill.com, we celebrated our 150th in 2015, happy to discuss the projects, what worked well, what didn't, and how to have an element of fun. Projects: 150 stories, daily facts, flat founder, etc. | jcoates@pnw.edu We have just gone through an institutional merger and our history students have just completed an experiential learning project, basically a self published institutonal history, in a partnership wuth the history department and the university archives | We're commemorating the sesquicentennial of coeducation at our University. Involves many committees & factors (history vs. Marketing/Development/Alumni Relations)--Archives is at the center. Janet Olson, j-olson@northwestern.edu | ||||||||||||||||||||
10 | Interested in forming a panel on issues around private data/SEI in archival born digital records, e.g. whether/how the issues are different for electronic records as opposed to analog/paper-based material, challenges and success with various tools. Open to other ideas for formats. | Lara Friedman-Shedlov ldfs@umn.edu | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | Interested in forming a traditional/ lighting talk panel discussing major migrations. At Iowa State, as well as the other Iowa regent schools, we are currently migrating out of ContentDM into Islandora. In the session could discuss workflows, lessons learned, what we wished we knew before we started, etc. | Lindsey Hillgartner,lah1@iastate.edu | I could talk about the University of Minnesota Libraries' migration to ArchivesSpace (from EAD (xml) files in DLXS). Also have other colleagues who might be at MAC who could participate, if not me. We published a few articles in Journal of Archival Organization about our process and lessons learned, etc. Lara Friedman-Shedlov, ldfs@umn.edu; I could talk about the Rock Hall‘s move from 3 collection mgmt dbs (library, archives, museum) into one - Jennie Thomas jthomas@rockhall.org I'm always happy to talk about my experience migrating a variety of data into ASpace from Archivists' Toolkit/Past Perfect/Word Docs. Caitlin Wells, cwel@umich.edu; We are currently in the early stages of a Cdm migration into Hyku/Samvera products. rebecca.pattillo@louisville.edu ; Loyola University Chicago recently migrated collections from ContentDM to Preservica, ahowdeshell@luc.edu Archives of Michigan recently migrated collections from CONTENTdm to Preservica as well. arnoldj1@michigan.gov Kansas State University migrated from Archon to Access to Memory (AtoM) and I shared some of our experiences at the SAA Collection Management Section meeting in Aug 2019. Cliff Hight, chight@ksu.edu | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | I'd like to lead a roundtable-type session on best practices for sharing institutional knowledge when onboarding new employees. Who has great tips or practices? We can start with an overview of the problems we're having, then discuss practical solutions. | Daria Labinsky, daria.labinsky@gmail.com | Cara Bertram, cbertra@illinois.edu | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | I'm interested in presenting a lightning round session on archival description and access decisions: what dilemma did you face and how did you address it? For example, not wanting to "out" but also not wanting to suppress LGBTQ people in the historic record; balancing 3rd party privacy with when mass digitizing collections/describing in a finding aid?, etc. | Lydia Tang ltang5@msu.edu | I am potentially interested in this. I'm brand new in my job, but implementing ASpace is one of my big projects and, between reviewing past descriptive practice and consolidating description for collections share across multiple units to increase ease of access, I'm sure I'll have lots of talk about by May! Lindy Smith lindysmith@umkc.edu | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | Reparations, Equity, and Transparency. I'm interested in putting together a panel (the more ideas the better) addressing how we are systemically addressing painful history within our collections with our users, with collaborations with historically marginalized groups, and internally within our profession. This may include repatriation/rehoming collections, establishing mutually beneficial partnerships with community organizations, dismantling our stereotype as "gatekeepers," and reassessing our recruitment, hiring, evaluation, and retention of archives workers of all ranks. | Lydia Tang ltang5@msu.edu | Laura Godden, lgodden@uwlax.edu, 608-785-8397. I have a few examples from my archive that could be utilized for this session idea. Also, I know of another archivist (who works at a public library) who might be interested in contributing to a session on this topic. Lisa Huntsha, lisahuntsha@augustana.edu. In terms of painful history, we are hosting a one-day conference this fall looking at how Sweden (our collecting area) experienced WWII and the holocaust. I could talk about using outreach events to discuss this history. I’ll also be doing a small exhibit to coincide. Not sure if this is quite what you’re thinking, but thought I’d throw it out there. Heidi Morse, heidi.morse@gmail.com My public library archive has partnered with a local African American history museum to develop an oral history series. I’m curating a related digital collection using historical newspapers and photos in our collection. I’m very early career / pre-MLIS, but I would love to join this panel if you are still looking. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | I'm interested in forming a standard presentation on issues and different methods used to describe hybrid (born-digital and paper) collections in EAD using hand coded XML or using tools like ArchivesSpace. | Chad Conrady cconr@loc.gov | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | I am interested in doing an open forum. What kind of archival labor do we really have when many of us are overworked, overwhelmed, and burned out? We are always busy at work. We work past regular hours, thinking about work night and day. Not taking your vacation time? Starting to dread going to work, getting sick a lot, or feeling overworked and exhausted? You are not alone. | Kay Lewandowska karolina.lewandowska@navy.mil | Lydia Tang ltang5@msu.edu | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | Would love to put together a panel on topics surrounding exhibits created with archival collections. Possible topics could include collaboration with outside organizations, ideas for creating an engaging exhibit from mostly documents, or my personal passion project advocating for non-experts to curate exhibits to simply share what resources are available. | Jaimi Parker jaimi.parker@unt.edu | willing to discuss other exhibit related topics as possibilities. | Amanda Gesiorski, agesiorski@visitationacademy.org- I have done several exhibits (temporary, semi-permanent, and pop up) within the school I work for. Would be interested in sharing what I've done and learning more! Amy Moorman, amy.moorman@wartburg.edu - I would be interested in sharing about putting together exhibits as a lone arranger, a/o using student labor to build exhibits, a/o my very novice adventures in creating digital exhibits to go along with physical exhibits (doing this for the first time this fall actually); could possibly include the perspective of a student either in person or via video participation in the panel (depending on logistics). Claire Du Laney cdulaney@unomaha.edu - I would be very interested in talking about student-curated exhibits using special collections and archival materials, going along with the theme of non-experts curating Tricia Gilson tgilson@mybcpl.org - I would be interested in talking about collaborating with outside organizations. I am the archivist for the architectural archives in our county public library. I've worked on a couple of exhibits this year connected to our building's 50th anniversary. For an exhibit at the library, I worked with university faculty and a local design firm. Out of this grew several other collaborations which resulted in a new mural, an art exhibit, and two additional historical exhibits. In addition to working with the university, we worked with our local arts council and our arts & entertainment district. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | Would love to put together a panel about processing large collections -- challenges, success stories, recommendations for project management tools, etc. | Hope Bibens, hope.bibens@drake.edu | Stefanie Caloia SCaloia@wayne.edu; Lydia Tang ltang5@msu.edu; Lauren White, whitelau@umich.edu; Hannah Zuber, zuber@chicagohistory.org; Andrea Gietzen gietzena@michigan.gov | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | Putting together a session on some simple first steps towards more active instruction sessions. We'd like to present some concrete, easy to implement ideas that archivists can use to move beyond a "show and tell" session. How have you used the NARA worksheets? Have you made your own activities? What can you share? | Cynthia Bachhuber cynthia.bachhuber@wisconsinhistory.org Carly Sentieri carly.sentieri@wisc.edu | Rebecca Pattillo, rebecca.pattillo@louisville.edu - we have several activities we can share. Our most popular is we give the students several boxes from 3 different collections and a redacted finding aid. They have to work as a group to determine who/what the collection is about, the importance to the historical record, and what research questions you could pose w the collection. Michele Christian, michele.christian@sdstate.edu - We have some interesting activities that engage students in archives. We do a two week intro to archival research for the history methods course using a large congressional collections; we have an undergraduate humanities course that comes in to use an indigenous author's papers to learn about oppression; and we work with creative writing classes on using archival materials as a basis in their works. Heather Stecklein, steckleinh@uwstout.edu. I can talk about our instruction sessions for first-year engineering students using patents (in our collections) granted to local inventors, interactions with local inventors, and a primer on the kind of primary source research necessary to submit a patent. Vic Fleischer, The University of Akron, svfleis@uakron.edu - I revamped my standard presentation years ago from a standard lecture and show and tell to a number of hands-on activities, which mostly consists of asking a number of questions and then getting the students in to groups to look through various archival boxes, hard copy finding aids, online finding aids, and archival databases to answer questions. We then go over the answers at the end of the session and I have them complete a handout as my assessment component. Would be happy to share the activities I developed, the handout, and our successes and drawbacks with this. I can also share some special sessions we did with various classes, including an art class that used materials from the archives as inspirations for their artworks and a communications class that tied a current event into past events in the area using the Archives Month theme and then my staff judged them and picked the winner. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | Hoping to put together a panel on collecting LGBTQ materials, on re-evaluating extant collections for LGBTQ content, and taking proactive steps (I'd characterize this as a kind of affirmative action) to alert specific scholars to new and newly-reevaluated collections. The panel can also discuss our experiences and perspectives re. standards and care in re-evaluating older collections which we now judge as LGBTQ-relevent that were produced in an era where no such self-identification (identity nor orientation) was offered. For example, the Illinois Institute of Technology had a "male burlesque" student theater club in the 1940s and the 1950s in which male students crossdressed; a series of production photographs resulted. | Mindy Pugh pugh@iit.edu | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | I'd like to pitch a broadly-scoped Decisions lightning round on how archivists make decisions, large and small. Do you have a tool, strategy or approach that helps you make decisions? Perhaps it's collection analysis, subject heading analysis, patron statistics. How do you prioritize collection development, processing, highlighting, etc? | Lydia Tang ltang5@msu.edu | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | I'm interested in putting together a panel on appraisal for born-digital archives: tools, workflows, strategies for involving curatorial and digital preservation staff, etc. | Dallas Pillen, djpillen@umich.edu | I'm interested in presenting on work a group of OCLC research library partners have been doing about collection building & operational impacts. It isn't specific to born-digital, but is about tools to include a broad range of people/roles in appraisal decisions. Maybe a good match? Chela Weber weberc@oclc.org https://www.oclc.org/research/partnership/working-groups/collection-building-operational-impacts.html Mike Shallcross, micshall@iu.edu: I'm interested in discussing tools/workflows and also some of the pain points and challenges associated with appraising digital content | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | I would like to do a panel on archival theory and practice in the Trump era. How has the archives profession responded to Trump's unusual approach to leadership and statecraft? How have archival institutions been affected by the current political atmosphere? What might be the long term implications for the historical record and our ability understand this era in the future? If interested please enter your contact information or email me directly. | Brad Wiles, bjwiles@uwm.edu | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
24 | Posted 9/6: Given this new deadline of 9/20, I am looking to put together a panel of 3-4 presenters on community archives - a discussant is needed, too! Papers could reflect the variety of and unique character of community archives, management of community archives on limited resources, and starting up / working with digital collections (digitized and digital-born materials) within community archives. Other subject possibilities are welcome. If interested, please enter your contact information or email me directly. Thank you and I hope to hear from you! | Heather Sonntag, hssonntag@wisc.edu | My paper (on first steps of digital asset management for a community archive) will be one of the 3-4 (and I am happy to chair the panel). | Shu Wan, shu-wan@uiowa.edu. I am currently working as MLIS student at the University of Iowa. I am strongly interested in your panel proposal, in which I make a presentation regarding my project to recording the oral history of Chinese immigrants in Iowa. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
25 | How can/should archivists communicate our daily activities, projects, progress, value, etc. to internal (or even external) stakeholders who aren't well-versed in archival terminology and practice? I would love to put together a panel describing lessons learned from past/current attempts, recommended tools/strategies, and outstanding questions/challenges. | Meg Galasso, galasso@iu.edu | Please feel welcome to add your info here or contact me directly if you're interested in joining. (Hooray for the extended proposal deadline!) | I work for an association and could potentially present on how we've worked with HR programs to increase visibility of the archives to our staff and members who either don't know we are here or don't think to approach us because they don't know what we do. Meghan Kennedy - mkennedy@facs.org | |||||||||||||||||||||||
26 | Anyone interested in presenting on deposit workflows for digital preservation systems (as well as troubleshooting deposit errors)? enter your contact info and we'll get an email thread going :) | blake graham, blake.graham@unl.edu | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
27 | Super late but....anyone interested in teaching to less "traditional" academic departments? I did an archives session for a healthcare policy class. Or science/tech/medicine materials more generally? | Laurinda Weisse, weissell@unk.edu | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
