About

The 2022 OAA Annual Meeting marked the first in-person conference since 2018. Archival practitioners from across Oklahoma came together to share case studies, build professional networks, and develop valuable skills.

The first 30 registrants received sponsorship from the Oklahoma Department of Libraries, made possible through funding provided by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2) and the IMLS authorization statute (20 U.S.C. § 9101 et seq.) via the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
