Are you an accidental archivist? A recorded webinar from CAA/SLA

Many of us work on projects or help with things outside our regular realm. At some point you made have found yourself an "accidental archivist". Whether your knowledge of archives is small or large, enjoy this recorded webinar from CAA (Chicago Area Archivists) and SLA-IL chapter (Special Libraries Association) from July 13, 2022. 

"While some professionals go into the field wanting to be archivists, many fall into the role with "other duties as assigned." Join CAA and SLA-IL for a co-hosted online event to discuss this topic. Corporate Librarian and Archivist Julie Snyder (Schur Incorporated) will moderate a discussion between Becca Smith (Librarian & Archivist, Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates) and Drew Davis (formerly archivist at College of American Pathologists, now Manager of Policy and Corporate Records at the College of American Pathologists) to talk about their experience working in both the role of special librarian and archivist. Time will be left for audience participation and questions."

The Librarians are "Silent but deadly!"


"Silent but deadly."  And entrusted with the power to save the known world.

How often do you see Librarians / Archivists given this much attention, power or credit?

Seems like there should be an Avengers movie about us ...  ;-)
