What does age mean in the archives profession? What challenges/opportunities do multigenerational archival workplaces face? How do age and experience relate to other aspects of diversity and power dynamics? How is institutional knowledge transferred? What data do we need about age and experience levels to build an optimal multigenerational profession? A group of archivists spanning early career through retirement convene a deliberative dialogue to thresh these questions that are vital to the archives profession.
