There’s still time to register for the joint Upper Midwest Digital Collections Conference (#UMDCC20) and the Minnesota Digital Library Annual Meeting (#mndiglib2020) on November 5-6, 2020. The conference theme is cross-pollination, to connect colleagues, share projects, and learn from each other across physical, institutional, and other boundaries. Registration is free for this all-virtual conference. - Register Now <https://z.umn.edu/digicollconf20> - View the Schedule <https://crosspollinate.sched.com/> Join us for 18 breakout sessions over two days on topics such as digital collection building during the pandemic, creating indigenous digital collections, building collaborative and inclusive workflows, and more. Concurrent sessions will be recorded, so you don’t have to miss any of it! *Keynote* DeEtta Jones <https://sched.co/eF1o> will deliver the keynote address on November 5th. DeEtta Jones is the founder and CEO of DeEtta Jones and Associates (DJA), a global minority and woman-owned management consulting and training firm. DJA specializes in on-line and in-person professional development services; business strategy; strategic planning; diversity and inclusion strategy, and more. The keynote will focus on how to better integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion principles into our work and within our organizations. *Plenary Speakers* The plenary session on November 6th will feature two projects: The Urban Art Mapping Research Project and The Journal of the Plague Year. Both projects address the emerging practice of building new digital collections that reflect current events. The Urban Art Mapping Mapping Research Project includes the George Floyd and Anti-Racist Street Art database, documenting examples of street art demanding social justice and racial equality in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd, and the Covid-19 Street Art database that captures ongoing responses to the pandemic on a global scale. The Journal of a Plague Year: An Archive of Covid-19, emerged in early March 2020 as a crowd-sourced rapid-response to the pandemic. Initiated at Arizona State University, The Journal of a Plague Year (or JOTPY), morphed into a curatorial consortium directed by a community of historians, students, and archivists situated in libraries, museums, and universities around the world. - View the full descriptions in Sched <https://sched.co/eFko> We look forward to seeing you at the conference!
