In this session, archivists of labor and social justice collections share the transformative possibilities of programs and services that reach beyond traditional stakeholders. By connecting with marginalized, underserved, or under-resourced communities and aiming programs and services beyond academic or institutional researchers, they examine how such initiatives can have lasting impacts on new audiences that can "see themselves" in these collections and benefit from the services that archivists provide.
