This presentation will highlight the new City Archivist for the City & County of San Francisco and her vision for the archives. Hear more details about the 2.5 million photographs in the San Francisco Historical Photograph Collection and the growing queer archives of the Hormel LGBTQIA Center.  Learn more about SFPL’s new DAMS and how one can preserve their memories in the DIY Digi Lab.  

• Adrienne Storey became the City Archivist in September of 2024 and manages SFPL's Archives and Special Collections. She found her way to the archive profession through a focus on place-based collections and a reverence for the relationship between culture, memory, and place.  
• Dee Dee Kramer manages SFPL's Digi Center, which oversees SFPL's Digital Collections website, digitalsf.org, and the DIY Digi Lab, where library-card holders can digitize their personal photographs, videos, audiotapes, and films by appointment. She has also worked at both the San Francisco History Center and the LGBTQIA Center.  
• Cristina Mitra is program manager for the Hormel LGBTQIA Center of San Francisco Public Library, the first and only center of its kind within an urban public library in the U.S. She is a third generation San Franciscan and adores serving up diverse collections, dynamic public programs and eye-opening exhibitions that celebrate the city that raised her.
• Christina Moretta is Photo Curator and interim manager of the San Francisco History Center. Ms. Moretta considers herself a history nerd and thinks she has the best job in the San Francisco Public Library.
