<Apologies for cross posting>
The summer meeting of the Association for Manuscripts and Archives in Research Collections has recently been announced.
It will be held on 12 July at the University of Nottingham.
See below for details and booking form.
The theme is access, and specifically the impact on curators and researchers as Reading Rooms take account of legislative changes affecting modern papers and archives.
AMARC meetings are open to non-members. For more details about AMARC see its website at:

I am happy to answer enquiries about this event.
