Representatives from state and university archives share innovative outreach efforts tailored to reach less typical archival constituencies. Participants represent three state archives and four public and private universities with enrollments from just over 1,000 to almost 15,000. Attendees have the opportunity to learn about a diverse set of outreach activities and start a conversation about developing new initiatives to bring underserved constituents into the archives.
