This year’s theme, “Archivists Respond,” recognizes the challenges and opportunities 2020 brought to archivists. The Program Committee asked archivists what work and projects they have undertaken that adapt to change. Presenters from across the Midwest and beyond will discuss how they have adapted and responded to change. A variety of posters will also be available for browsing.
