Even if you are not planning to attend the VRA virtual conference this year, please note that the address by keynote speaker, Steven D. Booth, will be live streamed free to everyone over Youtube. I'm sure his talk will be of interest to many of us in ARLIS/NA.

Your ARLIS/NA-VRA Liaison,

His work and research interests include born-digital audiovisual materials, Black cultural heritage preservation, community archives, and digital scholarship. Steven currently manages the audiovisual collection for the Barack Obama Presidential Library. Steven’s presentation, The Afterlife of What We Archive, will be Tuesday, Mar 23 from 11:00-12:30 pm (Central Time). The online event will be live-streamed via YouTube and open to the public (link forthcoming on the Conference website), however only registered conference attendees will be able to participate in the Q&A following the talk.
