Libraries, archives, and museums play a crucial role in helping their local populations discover and preserve the documentary heritage of their communities. CLRC\u2019s Cultural Heritage Services program works to help its members realize their full capacity to collect, preserve, and disseminate information about their unique cultural materials and records of enduring value.<\/p>\n

Community Building<\/h5>\n

CLRC supports a number of \u201ccommunities of practice\u201d including the College and University Archivists Roundtable (regional) and the Special Collections Roundtable of Upstate New York. \u00a0Roundtables generally meet on a semi-annual basis and provide an opportunity for members to visit peer institutions, exchange ideas, and encourage collaboration. \u00a0\u00a0Cultural Heritage Services also support the activities of CLRC\u2019s Digitization Special Interest Group (DIG-SIG) which is made up of New York Heritage users and other digitization experts and practitioners from around the region.<\/p>\n

If you have an idea for a roundtable or special interest group that you would like to form in support of cultural heritage activities, let us know and we can provide logistical support.<\/p>\n
