Hello Everyone,

A few weeks ago, the AAO Board began posting questions on the listserv in order to create some meaningful discussion within the archival community regarding matters that affect us. The first question was the following:

"With Museums and Libraries expanding their focus to include more and more archival materials, how do Archives set themselves apart from the rest of the Heritage Community? On the other hand, do partnerships with other groups/organizations help heighten the profile of the archival community?"

Please feel free to contribute any thoughts and/or ideas that you might have regarding this question or further questions posted by Board Members. We are hoping to eventually create articles for the OTR with the suggestions and concerns brought up through these postings. 

Happy discussing!

Liz Mayville
