ACRL/NY is forming a discussion group for archivists and special collection librarians in the New York Metropolitan area (including Long Island and Westchester County). The Archives and Special Collections Discussion Group brings together archivists and special collections librarians who work in academic and research settings so that we may discover our commonalities, discuss our mutual challenges, and seek solutions through information sharing and collaboration.
