<br>
In "A Finding Aid to My Soul," archivists from a variety of institutions and experience levels will share 5-minute true, personal stories of their connections to archives they have encountered. The show-on Sunday, August 4, from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm at the JW
Marriott in Austin, Texas-is sponsored by SAA's Committee on Public Awareness and will be hosted by award-winning storyteller and educator <a href="https://secure-web.cisco.com/1_gsJFg7W5TTJS-4vkI79ZVS4HcMXH_TW6dgoeKuwKisZoDBBoX-65l0imX_-mTgTWm-g6yoQWXbqgjZ6MKc6IAsFMf-4mTZVdK7avkowEFT2ZrXOrP7xjKBldwJKNHLTkkxiPms8hMkgJQXDCiSo-CgjlgLQxO2QZ8bGT8bDeefoQ7QKSPOcEOrUXxyAroqUK0n5Wd8WIJggFUgJXs-S-odMkLB4lY5LQnf8ed3s7YNCgZRU3rjg4iCTZ2W6kAg27VxapLfg2xt6a59YLoIkOTvwhxBNimpSS0RTaHWESgLcr9lBcKEArIfgqCZBXFUBsNPhBj5_wTJy4br6Pko1Z6WYSwB37GM61CHQSBc8gTI0q86Lweeo-JUPAdb_ZxdyxTDVWSdZL_3TSIIvZ9qH7cOlhrfT5QN_swg7jH_UqnySJOcZghaeiXmcMT2Q-oeJpm9ZxcXR4WhAbl8vHS8I_fGMHflMwCeSLWeNh4tP0r6cP7TvR6YfwARTFE3unp_W9ONNuNHp0falxeI6aPycNA/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.micaelablei.com%2F" title="https://www.micaelablei.com/"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Micaela

<br>
Right now we're looking for a wide range of voices to share their experiences. Absolutely no storytelling or performance experience necessary-Micaela will be available to support you as you practice your story.<br>
<br>
You may think that your story is not "dramatic" enough. We beg to differ! We want to hear stories with high stakes as well as small, intimate stories of the work you do and the personal ways it connects to your life. If it mattered to you, it will matter to
us, too.<br>
