Better late than never, the AAO is happy to present its first-ever virtual conference! 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to cancel our in-person 2020 conference in Thunder Bay. However, thanks to the willingness of conference presenters to pivot their work to an online, asynchronous format, we are now able to share those presentations with you.

Learn about how other archivists pursued new forms of collaboration and developed innovative partnerships in order to strengthen their programs, build community, and engage in new methods of outreach.

Cost
