Scientific Faculty papersPanel or Traditional60-75Matt Stahlmstahl@ucsb.eduPenny Neder-Muro: pneder@caltech.edu; Elisa Piccio: epiccio@caltech.eduUCSB Special Research Collections has made a concerted effort to increase our scientific paper holdings over the last few year- particularly physics. Wondering if any other Universities would be interested in presenting on the processing and access of scientific papers.

Teaching Primary Source Research SkillsPanel or Traditional60-90Julie Thomasjthomas1@csus.eduThis session will focus on teaching ABOUT primary source research, as opposed to teaching WITH primary sources. Topics can include using the Guildelines for Primary Source Literacy for lesson planning, other literacies and competencies needed for effective primary source research (e.g., cyberliteracy, historical thinking, etc.), pedagogy (e.g., active learning, scaffolding, object-based learning, etc.), fact-checking vs. critical thinking skills, and/or assessment.

Exposing colonial legacies through online access (working title)Panel or Traditional60-75Adrienne Serraaserra@berkeley.eduExploring new collections and opportunities to advance social justice through digitized primary source materials that cover historic power imbalances, privilege, and colonial practices in California. In 2021, the Bancroft Library launched a large-scale digitization project to provide online access to more than 130,000 pages contained in over 800 California Land Case Files dating from 1852 to 1892. The information in these legal documents offers evidence of life in early California from the perspective of Mexican Californians, or Californios, and provides a unique view into the transition from Mexican to American rule in the state, and the subsequent disenfranchisement of many of these earlier settlers. Wondering if any other institutions have collections documenting historic injustices that have been recently digitized or otherwise made more accessible to new audiences.
18
Cooperation and Self-Determination in Independent Collecting Institutions (Working Title, open to ideas!)Panel or Lightning Talk60-90Joanna Blackjoanna.black@sierraclub.orgFocus on libraries, archives, or museums (LAMs) established, managed, and/or funded by those who either use it or are the core constituents. Seeking panel representatives from LAM institutions within community organizations/groups, NGOs, independent clubs & associations, etc. (any that are outside university/college/higher education settings; collecting repositories could be completely independent or part of a larger, non-higher education organization). Possible topics to touch on could include: history of place, people, and purpose within your library/archives; changes and evolution in archival/library practices, procedures, policies within your library/archives over time; noteworthy projects and how they were accomplished; power and impact of people documenting and supporting their own histories; various ways in which your library/archives self-governs and/or manages day-to-day.

Archives and collaborative work within a community
Poster or Panel60-75Andrew Koppadkopp@cpp.eduCal Poly Pomona Special Collections and Archives acquired the Fairplex Records from the Los Angeles County Fair, who celebrated their 100th anniversary in 2022. The collection illustrates how an enterprise like the Fairplex and an academic institution like Cal Poly Pomona collaborated as neighboring community members to preserve regional, cultural, and historically significant artifacts for public use. This session is designed to demonstrate how different entities, enterprises, industries, institutions, and professions collaborate together to create a cohesive partnership to collect, process, and preserve community collections to represent California diversity.
