Archives must often battle with funders to increase, or even sustain, their current level of resources. Effective advocacy, resulting in dedicated government or institutional funding, contributes greatly to the sustainability of individual archives and the archives profession. Each speaker has proposed new legislation or funding initiatives for archives and records programs at the federal, state, or local level. Their lessons “from the trenches” will help attendees start or support lobbying for their own archives.
