2025 Northwest Archivists Annual Meeting - Virtual
May 13-16, 2025
Redefining Resilience: Advocacy, Values, and Creative Solutions
Conference Overview
The 2025 Northwest Archivists Annual Meeting will be held virtually from May 13-16. The conference theme is Redefining Resilience: Advocacy, Values, and Creative Solutions. In the past decade or more, archives have lost staff and funding but are continually asked to do the same amount of—or more—work. It is time to reframe the conversation from “doing more with less” to “doing our best with less.” What core functions of archives should be prioritized? What can we let go of? As archivists, how are we finding tools and building skills to fill the gap of what has been lost? How do we empower representation while protecting personal and professional boundaries? This theme invites proposals that cover practical solutions to these problems, ideas for advocating and collaborating for more resources, and suggestions for how to incorporate the new realms of blockchain, artificial intelligence, and digital preservation into our work.
