are digital. In addition, with many archives changing their approach to collection access out of necessity during the pandemic, our digital collections have become more important than ever. Join speakers from public libraries, academic libraries, media, government,
and community organizations to explore tools and strategies for both collecting and sharing local history and collections. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
