Midwest Archives Conference

The Midwest Archives Conference (MAC) 2026 Annual Meeting brings together archivists, records managers, and cultural heritage professionals for a collaborative and forward-looking program. Through a mix of sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities, the conference explores key issues shaping the profession, including digital preservation, access, description, and the evolving role of archives in supporting research and community engagement.

As archives continue to expand their digital presence, MAC provides a valuable space to share practical approaches for managing and delivering collections at scale. Attendees will gain insight into improving discoverability, streamlining workflows, and enabling secure, flexible access to archival materials. It’s also an opportunity to explore how platforms like Recollect support archivists in balancing robust collection management with increasing expectations for online access, participation, and storytelling.
