June and July in the Special Collections Research Center change pace as many of our staff travel for professional development opportunities.

The conference was held at St. John Fisher College in Rochester, NY from June 5th-7th and celebrated NYAC’s 50th year. Join us in thanking Nicole for her year of hard work contributing to the profession.
