"The Other Community Archivist: Volunteering Your Archival Labor"
Location: Society of Southwest Archivists Annual Meeting, San Antonio, TX
This panel will highlight lessons learned and challenges of working together with community organizations as an unpaid/underpaid volunteer archivist. As conversations expand on the importance of community archives, there also exist a need to identify who or how these repositories will manage and maintain themselves. Panelists will include archivists with previous experiences of working in these situations as well as one representative from the community the archivist engaged with. Society of Southwest Archivists conference attendees will gain insight into different approaches to community outreach as well as conversations on the moral obligation archivists have towards the larger community outside of their workplace.

The Missing Stories
Location: Piscataway Public Library, 500 Hoes Lane, Piscataway, NJ
In 1883, Anandibai Joshee, a young woman from a small city in western India arrived in Roselle, New Jersey. She had traveled thousands of miles, overcoming incredible physical and emotional hardships. She arrived with a purpose and eventually became the first South Asian woman in the world with a degree in western medicine. South Asians have been a presence in the US for more than 130 years, but their stories are mostly unknown. In this session, participants will engage in an interactive discussion about underrepresented populations, specifically examining South Asians, and how sharing community stories can help create a more inclusive future. Come join us for a special presentation from Samip Mallick, Co-Founder and Executive Director of SAADA, as we examine and celebrate these missing stories from our shared experience.
