<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Registration is now available for the 2026 Midwest Archives Conference/Society of Ohio Archivists joint annual meeting! The meeting will be held on May 14-16, 2026, on the campus of The Ohio
State University. Conference workshops, sessions, and meetings will be held in the Ohio Union. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">From 2015 until 2023, Ohio’s tourism slogan was “<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Find it Here</span></strong>.” As a slogan, it raised the obvious question “find <em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">what</span></em> here?”;
but as an archives motto…well, to “<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Find it Here</span></strong>” is an archivist’s greatest hope for anyone exploring their collections. Come to Columbus to find information and insights on a wide range
of topics central to all archivists.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">To register, see the program, and for more information, visit the
<a href="https://www.midwestarchives.org/2026-annual-meeting" target="_blank">Annual Meeting page</a> on MAC’s website.
<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">NOTE:</span></strong> You do not need to be a MAC member to create an account to register.
<i>SOA members receive the MAC member rate at registration</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">During the meeting,
<b>SOA will host a meet-up</b> on Thursday, May 14, from 11:30am to 12:30pm in the Third Floor Lounge. Meet and greet your fellow SOA members before the conference starts. See who’s in town or meet new friends before heading off to lunch, on your own or with
a group. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The <b>SOA business meeting</b> will be held Friday, May 15, 1-1:45pm.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">We look forward to seeing you soon!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
