Spring 2026 Meeting
Join us in Portland, Maine for three inspiring days of virtual and in-person workshops, sessions, special events, and roundtable discussions filled with archival professionals from in and around New England. In the spirit of Maine’s motto, Dirigo—meaning “I lead” or “I direct,” we’re discussing how we, as archives and cultural heritage workers, can respond to the times and build a more resilient profession and field. What are our roles in this current moment? What are our institutions’ roles? And how does our work affect our social, political, and environmental realities?
