Want to host a program but don’t have any ideas? Here are a few ideas inspired by events institutions have hosted in the past:

• Hold an open house or show-and-tell, highlighting unusual, new, or favorite materials from your collections.

• Mount a small exhibition or display using materials from your repository.

• Give a talk about a collection, project, or research topic connected to your holdings.

• Host a panel or conversation with archivists, historians, artists, researchers, and/or community members.

• Screen a film or other audiovisual materials from your collections, followed by a discussion.

• Highlight a recent acquisition, processing project, or digitization project and share what you’ve discovered.

Whether you’re planning a large public program or a smaller event, we’d love to have you participate!

CONTRIBUTE A ZINE TO OUR ZINE TABLE

Following the success of last year’s zine table, the Archivists Round Table of Metropolitan New York (A.R.T.) is once again seeking archives-related zines to share at this year’s A.R.T. Symposium and Awards Ceremony.

Whether your zine is artistic, informative, personal, humorous, or somewhere in between, we want to showcase the creativity and talents of zine makers within our profession.

How to Share Your Zine

• Attending in person? Bring 10–15 copies with you and drop them off at the registration table when you check in.

• Not attending or unable to bring physical copies? Send a PDF of your zine to communications@nycarchivists.org with the subject line “ART Symposium 2026 Zine Table” by Wednesday, September 30. We’ll print and fold a small run of your zine for the table.

• Not attending and/or prefer to send physical copies? You can mail a few copies to the following address:

Nicole Font

LuEsther T. Mertz Library

New York Botanical Garden

2900 Southern Blvd.

Bronx, NY 10458

For questions, please contact Director of Communications Nicole Font at communications@nycarchivists.org. 

Please note: All zines will be freely distributed to Symposium attendees. Sales will not be facilitated at this time. Zine artists who sell their work are welcome to share links to their websites or sales platforms so that we can include them in a list of participating zine artists that will be shared following the Symposium and Awards Ceremony.
