Content highlights include workshops on oral history, preserving scrapbooks, and outreach; a plenary session by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Leon Dash; a tour of the Lincoln Presidential library in nearby Springfield, Illinois; and sessions on small museum development, preserving the history of Midwestern Latinos, the lending of rare research items, and many others!  Of course, this is in addition to the other great tours, gatherings and events that make the MAC Annual Meeting so important.
