Colleagues
We wanted to let you know that RBMS 2025<https://web.cvent.com/event/eec2ebfb-c5d9-47b3-8485-6c1def8b7a62/summary> is coming up June 24-27, 2025, both onsite in New Haven, Connecticut, and virtually. The conference will, among other things, critically examine colonialism's impact on libraries and cultural heritage institutions and explore practices that make collections more inclusive and representative of often marginalized voices.

The RBMS 2025 Call for Proposals is now open and we're seeking innovative and thought-provoking proposals for in-person or virtual presentations that delve into the transformative work of decolonization in libraries and cultural heritage institutions.

This conference is your opportunity to showcase how you are actively engaging with critical themes such as repatriation, reparative cataloging, reconciliation, and more. Share the bold steps you're taking to rethink and reshape the narratives within your collections, particularly those connected to colonial histories, Indigenous cultural heritages, and marginalized communities. If you're considering this kind of work in your institutions, come and see how your colleagues face both obstacles and triumphs.

The proposal deadline is December 13, 2024, and complete details are available on the conference website.<https://web.cvent.com/event/eec2ebfb-c5d9-47b3-8485-6c1def8b7a62/websitePage:d605e9ec-5db5-4270-8e21-859b379b5cba>
