One of the main goals of the Joiner History Room, home to the DeKalb County archives, is to make the wealth of materials in the collection available and accessible to as many people as possible. While visiting an archives in person and handling the historical materials is still the way most research happens, the Joiner History Room’s new website will provide a wide variety of materials for those who are out of town as well as help researchers prepare for their visit.

During this virtual program, Rob Glover, archival and collection specialist and Joiner History Room Director, will lead this discussion and walk through the website. The talk will provide examples of nine elements outlined in best practices for archival websites.
