The content we discovered overflowed beyond the scope of our two-day conference. This Living Archive holds all of that additional content and information. Ranging from photos of UF campus in the 1980 provided by the University Archives, to a podcast about the ALA conference created by the students of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program, this virtual exhibit has so much to explore beyond the event. We also invite you to contribute! Because this archive is alive and growing, if you have a photograph on campus during the 80's, an essay, a video clip, or anything you'd like to add to this page, you may do so by submitting it here for review.   Explore the Living Archive Questions, comments, or concerns?
