Libraries, Archives, and Knowledge Environments in Society (LAKES)

Cultural heritage institutions are those organizations that seek to preserve or promote culture and community. This pursuit can be enhanced through physical or digital archives and collections as well as other information processes. UMSI students with expertise in acquiring, shaping, preserving and managing collections and data can assist in advancing institutional mission, serving the needs of diverse audiences, and promoting public programming, advocacy, education and outreach activities.
