The Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts invites archivists currently employed at artist endowed foundations to a meetup taking place concurrently with
ARCHIVES*RECORDS 2020.This will be an opportunity to network with other archivists and to have discussions relevant to the unique context of AEFs. For this meetup, we’d like to discuss your remote access plans and to talk in a broader sense about serving researchers, particularly in light of the closures precipitated by the current pandemic. How are your archives evaluating and responding to requests? Are you providing digital surrogates, and how are you delivering them? What type of formal or informal policies govern these interactions? We hope to make this a useful information exchange for archivists responding to these and related questions.
Please feel free to share specific policies, strategies, and documentation as you feel is appropriate. We are hoping to evolve this conversation into a regular meeting and shared resource for AEF archivists.
Please RSVP via this form. A meeting link will be emailed to registrants.
Reach out with any questions to
archives@mikekelleyfoundation.org.
