A Space for Everyone: PACSCL Reading Room Inclusivity Guide Discussion

Over the last couple of years, members of the PACSCL DEI committee have conducted research and surveyed patrons and staff members of archives and special collections to develop a guide around reading room practices. Join us for a discussion of the guide, recommendations for more accessible and inclusive reading rooms, and an open discussion with attendees.

The guide will be distributed to registrants prior to the program.
