We had the excellent opportunity to hear about the joys of being in the archival profession from working professional archivists. They shared their individual experiences of working with archival collections, touching on important topics such as advocating for their collections and the value of archivists. Thank you to Leilani Dawson, Dawn Sueoka, Helen Wong Smith, and our attendees for joining us! 🌺

Let’s help reach goal for the current fundraising campaign, Coffee for Colleagues (Tea on Me).
