Abstract
This poster focuses on two unusual archival initiatives undertaken by archivists at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, and the University of Kentucky in Lexington, Kentucky. At DePauw, an archivist and restorer preserved and relocated two headstones found buried in the archive's backlog. At Kentucky, an undergraduate research visit to an African American cemetery powerfully contributed to student learning and created community connections.
