This project examines outreach and community engagement conducted at the community and university archives levels. Through their work at the not-for-profit community archive, The ArQuives, Canada’s LGBTQ2+ Archives, and a project in process regarding post-secondary students, Toronto Metropolitan University, this presentation will discuss the presenters’ findings from their outreach initiatives. Presenters will propose interventions for community engagement for libraries, archives, and special collections. These projects were created to discover new points for intervention within existing outreach plans, and to formulate new and lasting projects to increase community engagement, facilitate long-term fiscal programming sustainability, create funding opportunities, and promote engagement and partnerships with other organizations in various sectors, with different levels of capacity and across all age groups, interests, and levels of knowledge on library and archives services.
