Session Description:
Have you got a story you would like to share with other archivists? Thoughts on archives and archiving? A collection, problem, or solution from which others might gain valuable insights? AAO’s Off the Record and ACA’s Archivaria might be the outlets you are looking for.
Editors Michael Friesen and Fiorella Foscarini will lead a casual conversation about the ins and outs of publishing your work with Off the Record and Archivaria. After short remarks from each editor the bulk of our time will be spent in open conversation, so bring your questions and ask the experts.
This archival conversation may be of particular interest to new grads or archivists in academic settings, but will also appeal to any archivist who has ever thought “more people should know about X…” Join us to learn more about how you can share that story and find your audience.
