Chicago, Illinois (April 13–15, 2023)
Our conference theme of “Dig Deep" is a nod to the state’s iconic culinary staple, deep dish pizza. While it may seem unassuming, the dish can provide an apt framework to consider the many layers of archival meaning to our work and how we understand our profession. Are there times you’ve had to dig deep to slice up new approaches, deliver creative solutions, or toss around new ideas? What are some of the professional, environmental, social, and cultural ingredients that we’ve baked into our profession, our collections, our patrons, and ourselves?
