Read the September/October Issue of Archival Outlook

This digital-only issue of Archival Outlook is packed with stories of outreach: An archives collecting the University of Maine’s response to COVID-19 connects with new donors and shows how archives are relevant now. Archives staff, alumni, and faculty at the University of Arkansas collaborate to digitize two key collections on the university’s history. Student Joel Ureña at the New York Tandon School of Engineering creates “an invitation to the archives” for his classmates by featuring archival photos of Black and Latinx engineering students on clothing. And members of the Society of Southwest Archivists’ State Partnerships and Outreach Committee actively present at interdisciplinary conferences to bring archives to users. Plus, read about the virtual ARCHIVES*RECORDS 2020 conference and SAA’s dynamic award winners and new Fellows. Start reading now. 

This issue is sponsored by San José State University, TandD, Atlas Systems, Aeon, Hollinger Metal Edge, Scene Savers, Scan Wide, and Lucidea.
