SUMMARY:Friends of Hannon Library Speakers Series
DESCRIPTION:On November 14\, 2024 from 5:30-6:30pm\, “Libraries Preserving History” will be a panel presentation on the ways in which archives help to preserve history and support scholarship. This event is in the Meese Room (305) at Hannon Library.

Archives serve as an important check on historical fantasies and misinformation. They come in all shapes and sizes and collect all types and formats of media and documents from personal papers to national records\, and from paper to digital files to collections of objects. A panel of experts will describe their experiences working with and building archives\, discuss what should be archived here in Southern Oregon and beyond\, and talk about ways in which archives support learning and scholarship. \nPanelists include Mark Tveskov\, Southern Oregon University  Professor of Anthropology; Christopher Lucas SOU Professor of Communication; and Hannah Archambault\, SOU Professor of History.
