Historians-

I am forwarding a couple of upcoming events that might be of use or interest to you (below and attached).  They are offered by the Open Scholarship Commons, a unit inside the UW Library.  If you have questions about them, please reach out to Aubrey Williams, the Open Scholarship and Digitial History Librarian (she’s great!).

Cheers,

Mark


All Students: 
From the Field: Conversations with Library, Archive, Museum & Gallery Professionals.
Wednesday, May 28, 2025, 3 – 4:30 p.m.
 Hybrid panel discussion
See our calendar<https://lib.uw.edu/openscholarship/events-and-workshops/> to register virtually or in person.
Are you curious about where your MLIS can take you beyond the traditional library setting? Join us for “From the Field: Conversations with Library, Archive, Museum & Gallery Professionals,” a lively and informative panel featuring working professionals from across the cultural heritage field.
This panel brings together librarians, archivists, curators, and other experts currently working in libraries, archives, museums, and galleries to share what their jobs are really like. They’ll talk about their career paths, the day-to-day realities of their work, and how their roles overlap and diverge across institutions. You’ll hear firsthand how they got started, what skills have been most useful, and what advice they have for MLIS students looking to break into these diverse fields. Whether you’re already set on a specific path or just exploring your options, this is a great opportunity to gain insight, ask questions, and build connections.
