2026 Northwest Archivists Annual Meeting

The 2026 Northwest Archivists Annual Meeting, themed 'Grit and Memory: Preserving the Stories That Built Our Communities,' focuses on addressing challenges in the archival profession such as burnout, understaffing, budget cuts, backlogs, and growing workloads with limited resources. It encourages discussion on how archivists overcome these obstacles and critically examines the concept of 'grit' within the profession, seeking creative solutions. The event aims to foster professional practice, strengthen institutions, and benefit communities by inviting diverse perspectives. Proposals are welcomed on all topics related to archival practice, theory, or research, particularly from allied professionals and students.
