About the Event
In partnership with Seattle Area Archivists, Folio: The Seattle Athenaeum welcomes panelists Sarah Shipley (Seattle Municipal Archives), Caitlin Oiye Coon (Densho), Will Dunn (REI Archives), and Marie Williams Chant (Museum of Glass) for a conversation celebrating 2026 Washington State Archives Month. Moderated by Jennifer Ott (HistoryLink) the panel will discuss digitized, born-digital, and applied archives work happening across the region.
This year's theme, "Find Your Story: Choose Your Own Adventure in Archives," invites the public to explore how archival collections illuminate the past, uncover untold stories, and connect us to histories we didn't know we were part of. As Washington State and the nation look toward America250 and the semiquincentennial of the United States, this event offers a timely opportunity to consider how local archives shape and preserve the stories that make up our shared history. Attendees will learn about digitization, virtual research access, and partnerships with platforms like HistoryLink.
