<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:black">We describe what people and systems do to find, access, and use material from archives and special collections as
<b>archival discovery and delivery</b>. The “front-end” systems involved in this work include those supporting search and presentation of archival description, delivery and presentation of digital objects, request management systems, and interpretation and
crowdsourcing. A major challenge in this area is determining how to effectively integrate those systems to work together as a coordinated whole, to support the needs of users and library and archives workers. We seek to get an in-depth understanding of how
these systems can and should work together to support archival discovery and delivery, and to develop a forward-looking agenda describing an ethical, equitable, sustainable, and well-integrated future for access and use of archives and special collections.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
