Dr. Kristen Howard, from the McGill University Library<https://www.mcgill.ca/library/librarians/kristen-howard>, will present on the (knowing and unknowing) use of exploitative prison labor by the GLAM sector (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums), arguing that it is our job as memory workers and information specialists to inform our public about the realities of this invisible labor.

Kristen Whitson, of Wisconsin Library Service<https://www.wils.org/>, will share on Recollection Wisconsin’s Curating Community Digital Collections project. Curating Community Digital Collections<https://recollectionwisconsin.org/digipres> was a 2-year IMLS grant funded program. Recollection Wisconsin partnered with the iSchool at University of Wisconsin-Madison and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s School of Information studies to provide library school students with practical experience in digital stewardship and increase the capacity of small libraries and cultural heritage organizations to curate their digital collections. Over two years, 16 students and 14 host institutions received training and mentoring in digital stewardship and worked together to manage, preserve, and provide access to digital content.
