All the questions you don't know to ask of your subscription representative, all of the steps you need to take before ingesting material depending on your subscription level, all of the customization you didn't know you needed to do.Erik Bauer (ebauer@ecww.org)

Mary McRobinsonmary.mcrobinson@sos.oregon.govOregon State ArchivesDecreasing Fees to Increase Access Panel:
Fees can serve as unintentional -- and sometimes intentional -- barriers to requesting and accessing records. The Oregon State Archives, in consultation with OR DOJ, examined our fee structure with the goal of implementing fee waivers to improve remote access to records. OSA considered such issues as stakeholdlers' rights to access public records, the role of archival records in govt transparency and accountability, economic inequality, and in-house resources. Looking to add panelists who are considering removing -- or have removed -- fees associated with remote access to records with the goal of providing diverse perspectives on this topic for a lively and throughtful panel discussion.

Shaye Anissanis@uw.eduUniversity of Washington Special CollectionsCommunity Archiving in Practice: My portion of the panel will be meta-analysis on a series of interviews about community archival donations through qualitative and some quantitative methods (use statistics). It will examine how a variety of stakeholders feel about the process, especially smaller organizations and communities that have historically been left out of the conversation. I'm hoping to hear about the intake process from other institutions and other experiences folks have had bringing in community archives to address diversity concerns and reparative collecting.

How/why do we say no to donors? How do we adapt our collecting scope/appraisal criteria to the limitations we are facing?

Anne Frantillaanne.frantilla@seattle.govSeattle Municipal ArchivesSustainable outreach. Outreach is one of the best methods of reaching new audiences and a wide number of people yet are time consuming.How can we adapt exhibits, both online and not, and presentations, to ensure outreach is ongoing. Spreading work among staff, joint projects among staff, adding new content to a framework that stays the same. How does outreach contribute to DEIA efforts.

Hillary Ellishellis@nedcc.orgCalifornia Ready - Or Not Cultural Heritage Disaster Preparedness ProjectDisaster Preparedness Planning for archives. Sustainable practices in disaster preparedness and response. Ideas on building disaster resilient communities through disaster readiness training and mutual aid networks in libraries, archives, and cultural organizations. The Ready - Or Not disaster preparedness project focused on reaching archives and cultural collections in places with the highest Social Vulnerability Index - an indicator of significant community need in a disaster. Discussion of how projects can use objective and subjective metrics for demonstrating DEIA efforts for grant project reporting and for community outreach. How can state- or federal-funded programs like Ready - Or Not address lack of disaster preparedness for collections in small organizations, community archives, tribal archives, and local history collections? How can we prepare cultural organizations for natural disasters being more frequent as we face climate change that increases drought, wildfire, landslide, and flood risk in Western states?

Conor Caseycmcasey@uw.eduLabor Archives of Washington, University of Washington Libraries Special Collections"Surveys, Metrics, and Assessment as an Essential Part of Archival Collection Administration and Management"
In the dynamic field of archival stewardship, effective administration and collection management are critical. This proposal focuses on showcasing case studies that highlight the impact of a data-driven approach to prioritize, budget, and allocate resources systematically. We aim to explore how leveraging collection surveys, metrics, and assessments as a strategic framework can guide and enhance the overall administration of collection stewardship. This session will delve into the proactive integration of surveys, metrics, and assessments, empowering archivists to make informed decisions, optimize resource allocation, and improve collection accessibility and preservation.
