Student-Centered Outreach Initiatives In University Archives: Promoting Alternatives To Top-Down Outreach Approaches, Jasmine S. Malone
Student Conference Oral Presentations
The university archive holds memorabilia of campus history that is often overlooked by undergraduate students.

Yet, in a four-month period, they successfully completed a quantity of work that would have taken Brown Media two and a half years to accomplish at regular staffing levels. Miller and Carter will share what they got right, what they got wrong and …

Journal of Contemporary Archival Studies
The National Digital Stewardship Alliance surveyed practitioners in 2012 and again in 2017 to gauge, among other things, how satisfied they were with their organizations’ digital preservation function.

Associate Professor of Communication and Journalism at UNM, Shinsuke Eguchi, also reflects on the politics of race and anti-blackness in this article. This article is a …
