Last month, we held our Archival Educators Roundtable (AER) Winter Workshop. These winter workshops grew out of the annual AER meetings that occur every summer since the start of the group in 2016.

I recently attended axe-con, the annual free online digital accessibility conference from Deque. With speakers and talks firmly rooted in the business domain from companies like Hilton, GitHub, Meta, Adobe, ADP, and multiple financial institutions, it was interesting to see the common themes this year. In this post, I’ll share my impressions and takeaways.

This summer, I had the privilege of interning at the Rockefeller Archive Center as part of the RAC-CCNY Internship Hybrid Program.

My time at the RAC has been anything but boring. I remember my first day passing by a few charming used book shops, a second hand clothing store with a statue of the headless horseman, while the smell of incense drifted from a psychic parlor into my nostrils. Because of its quirks and oddities, Tarrytown feels like a village that has been trapped in time. As I drove up the long-winding roads to the Archive Center, I felt a sense of calm in the still air.

In July 2013, the Digital Programs team first drafted a set of fifteen values to guide our work.

It seemed like a good moment to take stock of our individual and collective engagement with these values.
