NLA/MPLA Joint Conference

The partnership between the Great Plains Black History Museum and UNO Criss Library is preserving and more widely sharing the museum’s archival collections. This session will explore how partnerships can transform technical services like archival processing into opportunities for community engagement. By combining archival description with active outreach, libraries can play a vital role not only in preserving community memory, but also in ensuring those stories remain visible, meaningful, and part of the community’s identity.
