Conference
Author: Daniel Hartwig (Iowa State University)
What does it mean when we say that there are "gaps" in the historical record? On a physical, material level, what exactly is missing, and what can we as a community do about this? Special Collections and University Archives staff will walk audience members through some of our current, if somewhat sparse and scattered, holdings on underrepresented communities, as well as a number of budding initiatives we have been developing in the interest of expanding our collections and telling more, and fuller, stories of our Iowa State family and the broader agricultural and scientific communities. We will also explain the records donation process and encourage individuals, campus organizations, and others to help us expand the voices represented in the ISU Special Collections and University Archives.
