Taking recommendations from the task force report issued in March, our Treasurers updated the listserv and are working to combine the financial aspects of the organization. Our Secretary carefully revised the directory and issued a new version to members. Our Steering Committee engaged a Massachusetts lawyer, who graciously agreed to work pro-bono, to revise our bylaws to fit both the organization’s needs and the legal requirements for incorporation and in keeping with our non-profit status. These bylaws will go out soon for a vote along with the top three choices of a name for our combined organization, based on the results of the last vote in July. Keep an eye on the listserv for information on the vote!" -- "From the Presidents" column (The Watermark, v.42, no. 4, Fall 2019)

    The 2019 Program Committee seeks your participation in the ALHHS/MeMA Annual Meeting, taking place on Thursday, April 25, in Columbus, Ohio. We have some exciting plans in store for the 2019 meeting, and success depends on hearing from a wide range of our members.

      First, I’m delighted to announce that the 2019 meeting will feature a special-focus panel on intersections and partnerships between museums and libraries/archives, chaired by James Edmonson.  Please consider presenting as part of this panel.

      Next, by popular demand, this meeting will include a poster session, along with traditional paper/presentations and lightning talks.  So, there are a variety of ways to shine a light on the good work that you all are doing, and share your insights with your colleagues. 

      Based on the feedback from the 2018 meeting, our members are most interested in the following topics:
    • Born-digital archives and challenges related to paper and/or digital preservation
    • New outreach and programming initiatives
    • Examples of digital humanities projects and infrastructure
    • Diversity and inclusion initiatives
    • Embedding our collections in the curriculum

    However, please do not feel limited by the above.  We welcome presentations on any topic of interest and relevance to our membership.

      Please submit your proposal using the form at https://goo.gl/forms/K9e1DbQwuqEJiMIR2.  If proposing a paper/presentation, please indicate whether you want to be considered for the special-focus panel.

      The deadline for submitting proposals is Monday, December 10, 2018.  We will notify proposers of our decisions in early January, to give members sufficient time to make their travel requests and plans.

      If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Program Committee Chair, Lisa Mix, at: lisamix516@gmail.com.

      We look forward to seeing you in Columbus!
