After a history of closed doors and limited access, outreach has become essential to getting the public engaged with special collections and archives. This workshop will address the various ways that archivists and special collections librarians can better reach out to our user communities and cultivate new ones. Our five presenters represent several different types of archives or special collections libraries: academic libraries, government records centers, and local historical societies. They each will discuss their outreach efforts and provide their tips and tricks for improving your outreach efforts, no matter the size of your institution and staff.

Speakers:

• Steve Ammidown, Bowling Green State University
• Jenifer Baker & Jen Haney Conover, Warren County Records Center and Archives
• Natalie Fritz, Clark County Historical Society at the Heritage Center
• Miriam Intrator, Ohio University
