Greetings from MAIG!

The extended deadline to submit an article or news item to this year’s MAIGazine is next Monday, August 15. The Municipal Archives Interest Group (MAIG) is seeking articles related to this year’s theme: “New Perspectives in Archives”. Have you taken on a new perspective during your work at an archive? How have you adapted your day to day archival work during pandemic recovery? How have you challenged old ways of thinking, systemic “norms”, or outdated patterns and policies? Maybe you’ve been proactively working towards decolonizing your archive or discovered new ways to reach underrepresented communities. We would love to hear from you!

Shorter submissions and news announcements are also welcome for our “Brag Board,” where we highlight accomplishments and milestones achieved by individuals and institutions in our community. Let us know if you’ve received a grant for an exciting new project, obtained an interesting new acquisition, have a special project coming up, or really anything you would like to announce or brag about! We are also seeking photograph submissions for the cover page.

If you are interested in contributing, please send your submissions as a Word Document to Amber Mandich ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) by August 15. If you are including photos with your submission, please send them as JPEG files. Feel free to contact our Executive team with any questions about submitting your article or photograph.
