On behalf of the organizing committee, I extend a warm welcome to all attendees of Archiving 2024.Hosted at the prestigious National Archives in Washington, DC, this year's gathering promises to be exceptional, bringing together a diverse group dedicated to the vital work of digitizing, preserving, and sharing our collective cultural heritage materials.This common purpose unites this group into a community where we freely and openly share our knowledge.The theme of this year's conference, "Science, Sustainability, and Security," reflects our commitment to advancing Archiving through innovative scientific approaches.As we look deeper into the ever-important and multifaceted roles that sustainability and security play in our field, institutions, and society, I'm proud that those in our community are the thought leaders focused on preservation.Sustainability and security must go hand in hand with preservation.Sustainability and security are already a part of our discussions, but I challenge us all to widen our lens on these fundamental pillars to expand our thinking, discussions, and collaborations.With its rich history and symbolic significance, the National Archives and Records Administration serves as the perfect backdrop for our gathering.It reminds us of the immense responsibility the Archiving community bears.Through our collective efforts, we not only preserve the past, but also inspire future generations to explore, understand, reflect, and appreciate their history.As we come together to share insights, I encourage you to engage fully in the opportunities that Archiving 2024 presents.You will find as much value in a coffee break conversation as any other experience.Introduce yourself and join the conversations, you'll be glad you did.
