Sam Meister is an archivist and educator based in Evanston, Illinois who has been working in and with libraries, archives, museums, galleries, artists, and nonprofit organizations for over 15 years. With his consulting practice, Future Access For All, he is seeking to expand archival thinking and practice to new contexts, to guide and support people in taking action to ensure the digital materials they are creating continue to exist for as long as they need them. He is drawn to this work because he sees the potential for people to create their own archives for their creative practices, their organizations, and their communities. Previously, Sam served as the Preservation Communities Manager at the Educopia Institute, and before that as the Digital Archivist at the University of Montana. He has also taught workshops on managing digital content, electronic records, and digital preservation for the Society of American Archivists and the Library of Congress. He received his M.L.I.S from San Jose State University, and B.A. in Visual Arts from the University of California, San Diego.
