Join us for a one-hour discussion session to discuss your digital library and archives projects in which you tried something and "failed." What lessons were learned? How can we take these lessons and turn these "Pitfalls" into future "Triumphs?"   Register Here     Workshop: Accidental Archivist, Tampa Wednesday, July 23, 2025, 9am-4:30pm   Join us for a free, day-long, interactive workshop to understand the basics of physical and digital archives.
