After the Event: Response, Stabilization, and Salvage of Photographic Collections
(2019-11-09) Feige, Dyani; Lemmen, Barbara
Photographic materials have complex structures, specialized needs, and inherent preservation vulnerabilities; salvaging these materials safely after a disaster incident can sometimes be more challenging than salvaging collections that are primarily paper. This workshop will address disaster response with a focus on photographic collections. Presenters will share practical procedures for efficient initial response and stabilization of a disaster scene and will give specific guidelines on salvaging and caring for photographs following a disaster. The session will conclude with a brief, hands-on exercise in which participants will have a chance to witness and practice simulated salvage of photographic materials.

Archival Professionals and Teaching Faculty: Collaborative Education in the Time of Quarantine
(2022-10-20) Delozier, Alan; Loeper, Lindsey; Scott, Liz
The health-based uncertainty brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic of the last few years has created a period of adjustment for those who work with faculty. This has been especially true when it comes to reduced hours or outright closure of archival repositories across the globe. Faculty archivists often must remodel their approach to instruction due to the reality of limited accessibility of primary source documentation. They also have to adapt to the necessity of working with electronic resources and other alternative materials as a means of assisting professors and students via distance learning platforms. Our panel will discuss traditional approaches along with adaptive measures for assisting teaching faculty with their respective information-sharing visions in this climate of creative reference and collaborative measures.

(2022-03-26) Conlin, Kristin; Bell, Laura; Koukoui, Angela; Lutz, Christine; LoBello, Louise; Gormly, Briana
Panelists from three institutions, one small, one medium, and one large, will share their adaptive and iterative approaches to their work while handling varying levels of access and opening between 2020 and 2021. Panelists will discuss the successes and challenges of coordinating archives projects and services in response to navigating online-only and hybrid environments in addition to physical building access limitations. Projects include finding aid migration to ArchivesSpace while working from home during the Pandemic; 'hot-wiring' SpringShare's LibAnswers to manage research and 'scan-on-demand' requests; and teaching virtually amidst new demands and the need to support synchronous and asynchronous instruction. The session will highlight the workflows and solutions each institution developed and continues to adapt. Panelists will also discuss how these solutions have and will impact archives functions moving forward.
