Special Collections and Archives Interest Group (SCAig) News

The Special Collections and Archives Interest Group (SCAig) is currently in the process of planning its spring workshop, tentatively scheduled for late May or early June, 2024. The co-chairs are grateful to have Christine Liebson (Case Western Reserve University) and Michele Jennings (University of Dayton) as members of the planning committee. Thank you both so much for volunteering your time and expertise! In anticipation of the workshop, SCAig issued a survey to its members on SCA-related topics that are of interest to them. Based on the results, the workshop will likely revolve around the topics of digitization and digital preservation, particularly in regard to highlighting the voices of historically marginalized communities. The planning committee will be reaching out to potential speakers soon!

Please feel free to reach out to the SCAig co-chairs directly with any questions or suggestions you may have at scaig-chairs@alaoweb.org. We look forward to hearing from you!
