pressures and curricular goals in the archival classroom. Four moderated presentations focus on
innovative classroom pedagogy, including modeling and visualizing collection data, the digital

practical experience and deliverables with unique archival collections; presenters bring
perspectives from three states and two countries. “Inclusive Collection Visualization and
