Archives are facing simultaneous and multitiered challenges, from the impacts of climate change and natural disasters, to lack of adequate funding, political changes, and conflict zones.  Everything is happening everywhere all at once it seems. Being proactive and having plans in place in the event of a disaster is critical. But, when disaster hits, dealing with the aftermath and recovery takes on a life of its own.

How do we take those lessons and make our next plan a better one?  What can we learn from those who have been through the impact and the recovery? Lessons Learned: Planning for Disasters and Recovery will feature presentations and open discussions sharing information that we can learn from to better prepare and to help us identify gaps in the resources available.

Symposium chairs: Caroline Rubens, Chad Hunter, and Rachael Stoeltje.
