please excuse cross postings

Colleagues,

Don't let the gloomy weather fool you...the AABC is looking forward to *BC
Archives Awareness Week (November 17-23, 2024)* to celebrate the theme "Driving
Diversity".

While our work may be focused on preserving the past, we also look to the
future and activities that support diversity in our organizations to foster
a vibrant, responsive, and engaged archival community.

This year, we encourage you to join us to learn more about activities that
promote diversity in our profession that include:

   -

   Using MemoryBC as a tool to diversify your organizational outreach
   -

   UNESCO Memory of the World commemorative designation that recognizes
   nationally and internationally significant archival or documentary heritage
   collections
   -

   Diversifying your reference services and approaches
   -

   An overview of the BCMA IBPOC Network, which includes community
   building, informal mentorship, and professional development training
   -

   How a recently completed digitization project at the Rossland Museum &
   Discovery Centre uncovered and highlights the diverse history of their
   region
