<i>Looking at Vicarious Trauma and Trauma-Informed Care in Archives</i> by Rachel Weiher (she/her) Macalester College Collections archivist, and Erin McBrien (she/her) curator of Upper Midwest Literary Archives at the University of Minnesota, looks at how to
acknowledge vicarious trauma in university archives and special collections, as well as how to introduce discussions of this topic among archival staff. It will also touch on how to begin addressing vicarious trauma’s impacts through a framework of trauma-informed
care, specifically geared towards student workers. Rachel Weiher previously worked as a psychiatric counselor and has been working to bring the principles of trauma informed care into archival work.</div>

Vicarious trauma, also known as secondary trauma, is becoming increasingly recognized within the archival field as an occupational hazard. Archival materials can profoundly affect us as we process, uplift, and contextualize our work. Many of these materials
document histories of violence, oppression, displacement, and personal tragedy. They are vital to preserve and provide access to, but can be emotionally damaging to work with. As archivists, we are typically not trained in trauma-informed care or self care,
leading us to become more affected by trauma with fewer resources on how to cope with the negative effects. Acknowledging and discussing vicarious trauma can be challenging in an archival workplace, but is key to moving towards trauma-informed practices.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr; line-height: 1.38; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(12, 100, 192);">
A trauma-informed framework in archives prioritizes creating a supportive environment for both researchers and archivists by integrating principles of safety, transparency, peer support, empowerment, and cultural awareness. It creates strategies that promote
well-being while ensuring responsible and ethical stewardship of sensitive materials. The session will conclude with the steps taken so far towards a model of trauma-informed archival practice, as well as what is still needed for ideal implementation.</div>

AI is here, and it’s already embedded in much of our daily work (or soon may be). From machine-generated metadata to AI-enhanced search systems that reshape how users discover content, we’re in the middle of a transformation that’s incredibly fast yet often
contradictory. This session offers a grounded, practical look at how AI is currently shaping digital collections and archival work, with real-world examples of tools being tested: large language models that generate subject terms, computer vision systems that
identify photos, and conversational interfaces that shift how users interact with collections.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr; line-height: 1.38; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(12, 100, 192);">
But this conversation isn’t solely technical – it’s also deeply personal. As AI accelerates our processes, what are we gaining in efficiency, and what might we be losing in care, reflection, or insight? What does it mean for our profession when we no longer
interact with materials in the same way? What still matters when our work becomes abstracted or automated?</div>
<div style="direction: ltr; line-height: 1.38; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(12, 100, 192);">
This session invites participants into a space of critical experimentation, where we explore not only what AI can do, but what it asks of us. How do we sustain a thoughtful, ethical, and emotionally aware practice amid rapid change? How do we care for ourselves
and each other as our roles evolve? Whether you’re cautiously curious, AI-resistant, or already knee-deep in AI experimentation, this session will offer case studies, emerging practices, and space to reflect on what meaningful, human-centered digital library
work looks like in an AI-driven world.</div>

Climate change is reshaping our landscapes and environments in Ohio and around the world. According to the Ohio Department of Transportation’s Infrastructure Resiliency Plan, the main challenges faced by Ohio in the coming years are an increasing number of
extreme heat days and heavy precipitation events. Such changes are already impacting infrastructure and daily life of Ohio’s residents. How are these changes reflected in the digital collections stewarded by our cultural and educational institutions? And how
have digital collections recorded other environmental transformations from the past?</div>
<div style="direction: ltr; line-height: 1.38; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(12, 100, 192);">
Environmental collections documenting climate change are not limited to scientific or weather records. From diaries of rural farmers recording crop harvests to aerial photographs of cities that show tree cover, clues to our past, present, and future environmental
conditions are embedded in archival records of all kinds and at every institution. These materials can help researchers answer questions about historical environmental land use and resource extraction, and serve important educational and advocacy purposes
for greater environmental literacy and protections.</div>

Join Cincinnati-based archivist, internationally-recognized expert on climate change and cultural heritage, and author of A Green New Deal for Archives, Eira Tansey, for a thought provoking presentation examining examples of digital collections from across
Ohio and points beyond. Attendees will leave with a greater understanding of how climate change is affecting Ohio, what collections at their institutions might contain more information about environmental changes, and ways to bring greater attention to these
vital sets of information.</div>
