Report on the National Forum on Archival Discovery and Delivery*

February 2020. The Forum focused on information sharing and collaborative
problem solving around improving discovery and delivery for archives and
special collections, with 71 participants drawn from multiple disciplines
and job functions in the archives, library, and technology sectors. Using
both plenary presentations and activities drawn from human-centered design
principles to highlight opportunities and challenges, as well as potential
areas for further work.



The project will host a series of online working meetings and asynchronous
activities in Spring 2021 focused on collaborative writing and in-depth
exploration of topics and themes raised in the Forum. Further information
