3 | Using AI in the archives. We've been testing GenAI in projects like training students in our procedures with agents/bots and generating alt text and metadata for accessibility. I'm interested in putting together a panel to highlight different ways we are using AI in our shops, particularly those that are smaller or with limited tech support. | Larissa Krayer, larissa.krayer@unmc.edu | Presentation or Lightning Talk | E. O'Connor eoconnor@racinedominicans.org Solo Archivist tasked with maintaining a 650+ feet Archive, born digital materials, oral history program, digital program, digitizing program, futuring project for a future repository, aka so much to do and so little time. I have been using AI to generate transcripts for our oral histories old and new. It has been a game changer for time and also will produce keywords, summaries, timestamps, etc. Helps free up my time immensly. | Pete Brink, Creighton University petersonbrink@creighton.edu We have been using AI powered tools to "read" and make searchable handwritten correspondence. We are also using it to generate some descriptive information and non-traditional entry points to collections. We are beginning to plan for the development of a University History chatbot. | Carol Street, University of Kentucky, carolstreet@uky.edu We've been using an AI tool to transcribe a 17th century Spanish document, with much success. | Tony Lattis University of Wisconsin-Madison (alattis@wisc.edu) We have an as yet uncompleted project to move from an enterprise transcription product to an in house implementation of an open source product for oral history transcription. There are many angles from which to discuss this project but to throw out a few, trying to get buy in from tech support, integrating our needs with a system thats useable for other stakeholders on campus, why do we want this in the first place? why not just pay for an enterprise product? What skills have we needed to implement this? How did we sell it to administration. | |||||||||||||||||||
4 | Celebrating campus / institutional milestones through digital exhibits, pop up events, and innovative campus partnerships (e.g. a custom food / drinks) | Jaycie Vos, jayciev@iastate.edu (ISU library centennial - events and digital exhibit) | presentation or roundtable | Jennifer Long Morehart, jmoreha@bgsu.edu The University Archives has collaborated with campus stakeholders to celebrate several campus milestones: 100th Anniversary of Homecoming (collaborated with advancement and student engagement offices to feature an extensive outdoor exhibit of Homecoming history), 100th Anniversary of Bands (continued collaboration with the music college to create both a physical and digital bands collection), and mascot's 75th birthday (collaborated with student engagement offices to create a mascot timeline exhibit featuring 10 mascot costumes). | Olivia Wikle, ISU | Liz Bloodworth, Illinois Wesleyan University - IWU is celebrating its 175th Anniversary during the 2025-26 AY. as the archivist, I have led efforts to create a digital exhibit, partnered with Advancement for VIP donor events in the archives, worked with students in fellowships and a history of nursing class on digital/physical exhibits, and collaborated with a local company and history museum on a joint speaking engagement. | Rebecca Fitzsimmons, Illinois State University, rlfitzs@ilstu.edu -- The Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program recently celebrated two anniversaries a year apart, including the 25th year of the student research symposium and the 50th year of the overall program. I collaborated for several years on the planning and curation of two large physical exhibits with digital components. I also did metadata for a lot of objects that we added to new digital collections started specifically to support these efforts. I'd be happy to talk about the overall efforts/exhibits/events, collaborations (including with students, faculty, and other librarians), and using these milestones as community and physical collection-building outreach opportunities. | |||||||||||||||||||
5 | New takes on digital exhibits - what tools are you using now? what content or features are you embracing to make digital exhibits engaging today? how are you promoting digital exhibits in creative ways? | Jaycie Vos, jayciev@iastate.edu (ISU library centennial digital exhibit using Collection Builder) | presentation or roundtable | Jolie Braun, braun.338@osu.edu, Ohio State University's Rare Books & Manuscripts Library; we also used Story Maps for creating a recent digital exhibit: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/b00f960520484eae9758aac6edfb8ec0. This was created to coincide with an in-person exhibit during the Fall 2024 semester. I'd be particularly interested in discussing how we used the digital counterpart alongside the physical exhibit and our strategies for promoting it. | Olivia Wikle, ISU | |||||||||||||||||||||
6 | Conversation on AI use. Are you an AI advocate or skeptic? Does the ability of AI to help process backlogs and increase discoverability outweigh ethical concerns & environmental impact? Are there ways to responsibly address the concerns and what are they? I've been having lots of conversations regarding AI use with colleagues, whether it's a good thing or bad and I'd be interested in putting together a forum or roundtable discussion to have a frank conversation of AI and its impact. I'm an AI advocate and would be looking for a mix of advocates and skeptics. | Larissa Krayer, larissa.krayer@unmc.edu | Forum or Roundtable | |||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | Session on fundraising and capital campaigns to endow the archives. Discussing ways to engage donors, how to be creative, and lessons learned | Kristina Warner, warner@norwegianamericanhistory.org | Presentation or roundtable | Dina Kellams, Indiana University Archives, dmkellam@iu.edu; In the past few years, more and more of my work has been with my development colleagues and donors. We've had a couple of successful "IU Day" campaigns, could talk about that and stewardship of donors, etc. | Neal Harmeyer, Purdue University, harmeyna@purdue.edu; I continue to work with Development on endowments, donor engagement, etc. while also establishing priority areas for outreach to meet funding needs short and long-term. | |||||||||||||||||||||
8 | Small institutions, large collections: As smaller institutions, how have you dealt with large collections, from donor negotiations to acquisition/transfer to processing? | Laurinda Weisse, weissell@unk.edu | Presentation or Roundtable | Tyson Koenig, tmkoenig@semo.edu. We have an enormous collection from a local drainage district that has been processed in fits and starts since its donation 20 years ago. It requires a substantial amount of work but only has niche research use, and a lot of work has been spent trying to wrangle it. I could speak about all of this history. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | UIC migrated to ArchivesSpace in 2024 from SKCA, to which they only migrated in 2021. Discussion of experience and issues with migrating entire databases twice in 5 years. Lessons learned, goals for future, changes to be made moving forward as we (hopefully) stick with ASpace. | Mary Pedraza, maryp5@uic.edu | Presentation or Lightning Talk | Nick Pavlik, npavlik@bgsu.edu. BGSU is just finishing up our manual migration of nearly 1500 finding aids to ASpace, which took nearly seven years to complete. Have a lot of lessons learned! | Evan Miller, milleeva@iu.edu. In my most recent past position (I recently started at Indiana University Indianapolis), I planned and began a digital collection migration from CONTENTdm to Hyku. My main takeaways from this experience were a practical migration workflow, processes for bulk metadata remediation, and long-range planning. It's not ArchivesSpace related, but if you'd be willing to expand the panel presentation to overall system migrations, I'd love to join! | Emily Rebmann, erebmann@oberlin.edu. Full disclosure: I am submitting for another panel so would only be able to present at one, if accepted. I just migrated our collection of about 650 finding aids from Archon to ArchivesSpace in just eight months. Many lessons learned; challenges as a small instititution who could not afford the ASpace membership (and therefore do not have the manual) | ||||||||||||||||||||
10 | Inheriting archives as a lone arranger/creating a department and establishing workflows/policies when the collection has already been created (in the context of small institution, especially those transitioning from volunteer led to paid professional, full time staff) | Jenna Kish, Ohio Genealogical Society, jkish@ogs.org (419-886-1903 (general)) | Presentation or round table | Jenna Kish, Archivist at Ohio Genealogical Society, jkish@ogs.org; I was hired at OGS as its first archivist, and was tasked with modernizing and updating finding aids and policies, auditing the collection (including remediation), and generally improve access to the collections. The OGS has collected archival materials since the early 1970s, but never had specific policies or procedures for accessioning or processing materials for the archives, and were generally inconsistent with recordkeeping (both for the archives and its own institutional records) and the application of what procedures and policies they did have. I would be interested in talking about experiences of lone arrangers when you are inheriting a collection with little to no institutional memory or guidance from the previous archivist (or staff member), having to make it up as you go along. Presentation would give anecdotal advice and recommendations to others in similar situations. | Hannah Zmuda, University of Michigan-Dearborn, hzmuda@umich.edu. UM-Dearborn has has an archive since around 1997 (and has been warehousing rescued records since the 1980s) but to my knowledge, has never had a full-time archivist. No workflows or policies survive from the previous archive workers, we have next to no paperwork in regards to transfers. There are finding aids, but they're often out of date and inconsistently formatted. I am still pretty early in the process of working this all out, but I'd love to talk about some of the issues I'm dealing with in regards to a lack of institutional memory and things I'm thinking about as I try to develop some workflows. I also have the prespective of a very early career professional who is still learning on the job. | |||||||||||||||||||||
11 | Traveling exhibits (or other types of exhibits) as an invitation for participates to share their stories and learn more about a facet of history | Claire Du Laney Dunker, University of Nebraska Omaha, cdulaney@unomaha.edu | Presentation or round table | The University of Omaha Nebraska Criss Library Archives and Special Collections created a traveling exhibit that shares an introduction to the history of LGBTQ+ communities in Nebraska. The bulk of this research was found in UNO's Queer Omaha Archives, which is coming up on it's 10th anniversary (though the exhibit is not an anniversary exhibit).The 14 panel display highlights topics incuding rural experiences, organizations, colleges and universities, publication, and other themes of community, joy, and lived experiences. This exhibit will travel across the state to act as an invitation to learn, share, and engage with this history. Presentation could discuss the grant, research, and fabrication process as well as feedback so far from visitors. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | Correspondence and other records of incarcerated people. I work with several collections of judicial papers that include letters from prisoners. I'd like to talk about third-party privacy and other access and restrictions issues related to these papers. This panel could go in a couple of different directions. I could see, for example, broader conversations about managing either third-party privacy or collections related to incarcerated people. Happy to bounce around other ideas! | Anu Kasarabada, akasarabls@gmail.com | Presentation or round table | Derek Potts, DePaul University, dpotts2@depaul.edu ; DePaul Special Collections and Archives contains several collections related to incarceration including the Anthony Rayson zine collection (authored by incarcerated people and advocates, for incarcerated people), Sr. Helen Prejean papers (anti-death penalty, includes letters), Women, Writing, and Incarceration collection (creative writing), Rick Cluchey papers (San Quentin Drama materials), etc. We also mail photocopies of zines from the Rayson zine collection to currently incarcerated people who write to us. Happy as well to bounce ideas around related to collections, incarcerated people, and access. | Katie Nash, UW-Madison Archives, katie.nash@wisc.edu. We have a very large collection of letters from the LGBTQ Books to Prisoners project - mostly from prisoners who are recipients of this project. We established access and use restrictions with a few of the people spearheading this project, so we made sure to get their preferences and in-put about what's allowed, and what's not. We do not have any third-party privacy issues, to my knowledge. This collection is not organized and described, but has been requested for scholarly research. I'm not sure if this situation warrants a presentation, but depending on what direction you head in, I may have something to contribute! | |||||||||||||||||||||
13 | New, Big, Born-digital Challenges: Presentations or Discussion on unique challenges surrounding Donations of Unusual Size or Format; The University of Kentucky Special Collections Research Center received a transfer of 4,500+ videos in the form of the primary institutional YouTube Channel. I'd like to present on that workflow, but am curious if others have encountered other large and/or cloud-based donations that required new workflows and interventions. | Andrew McDonnell, mcdonnell@uky.edu | Standard presentation; Pecha Kucha | Lara Friedman-Shedlov, University of Minnesota, ldfs@umn.edu (large collections of optical disks and/or Google Drive transfers) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | [10/14-Group filled] Some sort of Accessioning tips, tricks, workflow discussion, could also talk about assessing an accessioning program. OR Accessioning different sized collections or differently aged collections (new vs. retrospective/legacy) and how that changes where time and energy is directed | Jessica Green, jgreen1@iastate.edu | presentation, round table, or lightning talk. I think this could take different forms depending on how other people wanted to build off this | Cara Bertram, cbertra@illinois.edu, American Library Association Archives @ University of Illinois. Not sure if this fits, but I managed a large accessioning project (580+ boxes) during the pandemic that got out of hand. We had to reset and rework how we tracked our incoming materials. So I have tips/successes/failures in managing a large project. | Ronda Sewald, rsewald@iu.edu, Technical Services @ Indiana University. Also not sure if this fits. Our cataloging department accessioned a large number of orders which we decided to group into several artificial collections with archival finding aids. Because of the way the catalog system tracks orders and connects collection-level catalog records and container/item barcodes back to the purchase orders, this approach caused some tricky issues between collection descriptions and accession records. | |||||||||||||||||||||
15 | Informal off-the-record discussion featuring federal archivists and records managers and others who have been affected by actions taken by the current presidential administration, inc. DOGE. How have the changes affected your jobs? What have you done to try to keep up morale at your workplaces? What kind of workarounds have you developed? If you've felt compelled to move on, are you encountering obstacles to finding a new job? etc. | Daria Labinsky, daria.labinsky@gmail.com | open forum or roundtable | |||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | Conducting outreach to improve institutional records management practices | Hannah Pryor, hannah.pryor@louisville.edu | Presentation | Anne Ryckbost, ryckbosta@xavier.edu; Institutional accreditation process as a venue for outreach and engagement regarding University records and archives. In their guide to providing evidence, the Higher Learning Commission suggests working with an archivist to gather and provide institutional evidence for accreditation. Having worked on Year 1 and Year 4 accreditation cycles, I can share tips/strategies/successes. | Amanda Rindler, arindler@iu.edu; records managment newsletter, mascot for marketing. Worked with communications team to send out messaging promoting online training and office hours | |||||||||||||||||||||
17 | THIS SESSION IS FILLED. Tools/approaches/initiatives for highlighting and increasing accessibility/discoverability for unique/diverse collections (maybe especially those with a regional focus). My specific presentation would focus on the development of archives-specific LibGuides for collections focused on special topics and associated outcomes (in this case, collections related to Jewish life in Iowa), but I can imagine many other approaches to the broader topic. | Heather Cooper, heather.l.cooper@und.edu | standard presentation | Found 3 additional presenters, plus chair. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | Creating or revising loan policies, for exhibits or otherwise. The Bentley Library is currently going through this process and aims to have a new public facing policy, workflows, and forms | Caitlin Moriarty, Caitmor@umich.edu | Presentation or round table | |||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | [TENTATIVELY FILLED - please reach out to Stefanie directly if you are interested in joining!] Large-scale/institution-wide inventories | Stefanie Caloia SCaloia@wayne.edu | presentation or open to ideas | The Reuther Library is in the midst of a stacks inventory of our 75,000 LF collection. We will discuss planning, testing, implementation, outcomes and takaways so far. At least 2 from our team will present and we are looking for other archivists who have done similar projects to join us! | Mackenzie Ryan, mackenzie.ryan@wisc.edu, We have been undertaking a collection-wide survey for a few years. The project has started and stopped, but has been active for the last year. Happy to share our planning, lessons learned, and how were using this (even though we're not finshed) to assist with other activities in the Archives. | Jessica Green, jgreen1@iastate.edu, when I started we did a stack-read to find unprocessed collections and other projects. It wasn't a full inventory but it sounds similar. I'd be happy to talk about it--how we structured it, how its lead to thinking about other space issues, how we've tackled the additional projects | Jenna Silver, jenna-silver@uiowa.edu,We also have been undertaking a collection-wide survey that has lasted a handful of years. There have been multiple pauses in this survey but many projects have come from it, along with helping our repositories set housing standards, addressing issues, etc. | |||||||||||||||||||
20 | Fish out of water - librarians working in archives - how do you develop an understanding and implementation of not only your own community's professional standards and practices, but those of another, though they may be, on the surface, related - collaborative efforts between librarians and archivists - working with a shared understanding of perspectives, differences, shared vocabularies | Stefanie Hunker, sdennis@bgsu.edu | Presentation? other ideas? | |||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | At BGSU's Browne Popular Culture Library we are exploring new ways to support classes outside of the traditional space. We would like to present a standard presentation on instruction out of the classroom - could be primary source teaching with online classes, archival literacy to high school classes at their location, etc. | Contact Sasha Kim (sashak@bgsu.edu) or Stefanie Hunker (sdennis@bgsu.edu) if you're interested. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
