Created in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Archival Workers Emergency Fund was established to provide assistance for archival workers experiencing acute, unanticipated financial hardship due to the crisis. The fund welcomes applications from all U.S.-based archival workers affected by the COVID-19 crisis and donations from all. For more information, visit the SAA website. The AWE Fund Organizing Committee coordinates ongoing fund support and development.

This panel is the first in a series of semi-regular panel conversations hosted by the AWE Fund Organizing Committee.
