Public Library Archives/Special Collections Forum

Welcome

Welcome to the newly formed Public Library Archives/Special Collections Forum.  PLASC for short. This forum became officially active in February of 2010. Our mission statement below states who and why we are.  Please take a look and consider joining our online community at http://tinyurl.com/plasc 

Our Mission

The Public Library Archives/Special Collections Roundtable (PLASC) serves to encourage advocacy for and education about archival, manuscript, local history, genealogy, and other historic and special collections within public libraries of all sizes. The Roundtable provides an arena for discussion and dissemination of best practices of the archival, library, museum and history fields; and works to support the informational, historical, and cultural interests which converge in public library archives and special collections.
