Please join us on Friday, March 27 in Washington, DC for "The Multi-Media Archive: Stewardship and Use of Audiovisual Media Documenting Contemporary Art History."

The event will bring together audiovisual archivists and users of
archives to discuss the challenges and opportunities of working with mixed-media archival collections, with a focus on collections
documenting contemporary art. There will be two roundtable discussions - one featuring archivists from the Archives of American Art, the Human Studies Film Archives, the Guggenheim Museum Archives, and the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research, and the other featuring scholars, curators, educators, and filmmakers discussing their experiences with audiovisual primary sources. The roundtables will be followed by a screening featuring film and video artworks from the collections of the participating archivists.

The event is free and open to the public.
