Code of Conduct

The Archives Day Organizing Committee seeks to provide a positive event environment in which diverse participants may learn, network, and enjoy the company of colleagues in an environment of mutual human respect. We recognize a shared responsibility to create and hold that environment for the benefit of our members and others who attend, participate in, and support our events.

All attendees and speakers at Archives Day are required to agree to the following code of conduct. Organizers will enforce this code throughout the event. We expect cooperation from all participants to help ensure a safe environment for everybody.

Sexual harassment or intimidation, including unwelcome sexual attention, stalking (physical or virtual), or unsolicited physical contact or invasion of personal space.
Other acts of harassment including, but not limited to, bullying, abusing, and yelling.
