“Local Collections in the Digital Age” November 4–5, 2021, Kansas City, Missouri

---

Abstract

Archives in public libraries, colleges and universities, and historical societies are the loci of where local history is found. As part of their communities, they document and share what defines and characterizes a place. As the profession has more generally sought how to make the collections we build more diverse, inclusive, responsive, and relevant, approaches and tools have changed. More often than not, those tools and approaches involve technology in some way. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, perhaps at no time in our history have we been so locally focused but also so digitally tuned in and connected. With an emphasis on digital collecting and digital storytelling, the MAC 2021 Fall Symposium will focus on how the digital age and technology have changed what and how we collect and how we share those collections.
