Exciting to see the ongoing work for the new @LibraryArchives and @BCArchives spaces coming in 2026, especially in the context of discussions around inclusive design and user-centred spaces throughout this conference #ACA2024AB
In the last session before #ACA2024AB closing keynote, 13C Something for Everyone: How LAC and RBCM are Centring User Needs in Spaces and Services with Lisa Tremblay-Goodyer, Marnie Burnham, and Emma Wright is live now!

Currently chairing this afternoon’s session, 8D Future-proofing: Centring Care Now for Disability Archives Tomorrow with Gracen Brilmyer, Grace Isibor, and Sam Pappas #ACA2024AB
So many potential avenues from the presenters’ research for archival workers to use in centring disabled people in their work, considering inclusive access and design, representation in records and leadership, and a broader disability consciousness #ACA2024AB
Second, congratulations to Dr. Fiorella Foscarini for her significant research and contributions to the scholarly and professional archival community, as well as her contributions to the ACA and the Archivaria Editorial Board!
What insightful and thought-provoking discussions, considering how care-centred practices in community spaces can inspire institutional archives, what can and should be shared online, and how to represent born-digital vs analog records in collections #ACA2024AB
A great start to #ACA2024AB, really appreciated the session from Erin Suliak, Patti Bannister, and Sharon Murray on preparing for natural disasters. Great resources from @ArchivesInNS and an emphasis on self-care resources and being prepared for unpredictable human responses

Bus drivers refused to transport protestors from last night's Seder in the Streets to the precinct, forcing cops to drive the busses. Power and solidarity to the union bus drivers with @twu100 who refuse to collaborate with the NYPD, which commandeers MTA busses for mass arrests.
So incredible to have an opening keynote from @edrabinski at @ALALibrary on current attacks on libraries, empowering library workers and supporters of libraries to lead policy discussions and decisions, and the simple statement: “libraries do good work” #BCLA2024
Great morning session at #BCLA2024 with Haroon Bajwa, Toby Mueller, and LeeAnne Smith on how to incorporate restorative practices into interactions with patrons and staff and how libraries can educate public on RJ resources
