Exciting possibilities await us when we invest in museum archives! Through archives, relevant and engaging connections happen and a more inclusive, approachable space for community results. Learn how nascent collection and institutional archives expand accessibility, reach new audiences, and create unexpected discoveries that empower and shift narratives. This session will explore approaches to improving collections accessibility and holding space for diverse connections through archives.
