RILM will participate, for the first time, in the 54th annual meeting of the Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA) held in Montréal, 3–5 May 2026. This year’s conference theme is Résistance.

On Tuesday, 5 May, Liz Martin-Ruiz and Jackie Santos will present papers in the panel A Culture of Resistance: Libraries, Archives, and the Impact of Culture on Collecting (and Collecting on Culture). At 3:15pm local time, Liz will give her talk “Building a global digital archive for popular music and culture zines”, which dissects the creation process of RILM Archive of Popular Music Magazines (RAPMM). Jackie Santos will follow directly after at 3:30pm with her presentation “Punk rock & resistance: Documenting decades of defiance in an international zine archive”, which examines themes within RAPMM. 

Liz and Jackie will be available throughout the conference to discuss RILM products and gather feedback. Take a moment to visit them at the RILM booth, schedule an appointment via subscriptions@rilm.org, or—if attending virtually—arrange a one-on-one Zoom consultation after ARLIS/NA has concluded.
