Ask the Archivist
WNYLRC offers access to a statewide service from the Empire State Library Network, now available to all WNYLRC members called Ask the Archivist. This is a one-year pilot, and ESLN will evaluate its effectiveness at the end of the first year.
This service is available to WNYLRC members, answering basic questions regarding managing their archives and special collections. This service is staffed by archivists at several Councils, including WNYLRC. The staff will provide advice, referrals, and guidance to colleagues on all aspects of archival work, such as creating policies and strategic plans, collections processing, preservation, reference, acquisition, appraisal, and digital projects. We invite all your questions on archives and special collections, big or small. Questions can be submitted through an online form.
