Mark your calendars now to join MARAC in Harrisburg, the Capital City of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania - The Keystone State. Our theme is: Harrisburg: Crossroads and Bridges in Archival Practice, which is intended to reflect the diversity of institutions, practice, theory, perspectives, and the profession itself.

MARAC meetings have a strong tradition of bringing accessible sessions to practitioners from all levels of the archives and information professional fields. Make sure to join us for a program that will engage, enlighten, and inform participants!

Program and registration will be available the week of February 24th.
