annual meeting

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.


Call for Proposals (CLOSED)

The Program Committee is seeking Session Proposals related to all aspects of archival practice, theory or research that is broadly related to the theme. Any and all ideas are welcome! We especially invite those in allied professions as well as graduate and undergraduate students to participate.
