    Dear Colleagues, 


    Registration is open for Toward Radical Imagination: HBCUs, Digital Libraries, and Authentic Collaboration, a two-day virtual event celebrating the conclusion of the Authenticity Project. Join panel discussions on creating access to Historically Black College and University (HBCU) library collections; digital pedagogy; grants and grant-funded projects; leadership and upward mobility at HBCUs; digital publishing, art, archives, and exhibitions at HBCUs; and how these topics intersect with authentic partnerships.

    Date: April 6-7, 2023

    Time: 11:00am – 4:30pm ET USA

    Register: https://authenticity.diglib.org/

    Audience: Registration is free and open to the public.

     

    Featured speakers include Loretta Parham, CEO and Director of the Robert W. Woodruff Library at Atlanta University Center, who will open the first day, and Lopez Matthews Jr., state archivist and public records administrator, Government of the District of Columbia, who will open the second day.
