Achieving diversity and promoting transparency create opportunities for archivists to embrace multilingual, non-English, and non-verbal collections that may already be in our archives and to find ways to welcome them if they have not previously been included. In this session, panelists moderate a cross-panel and open forum discussion on benefits and potential problems of engaging with multi-lingual and non-verbal collections, providing expanded access, and working with communities that are unfamiliar with archives and archivists.

The panelists are looking questions and comments from the audience in advance of our presentation, please click here to participate.
