Abstract

The Polar Libraries Colloquy (PLC) is a voluntary professional membership organization for archivists, librarians, and others with an interest in Arctic and Antarctic collections and information. The PLC first met in 1971 and over its 50 years there has been, and is now, much large-scale global change, especially in the world of information. Even though the PLC is a small and geographically dispersed organization, it has successfully existed for half a century and remains a vibrant and active community. This chapter presents a brief history of the PLC along with discussion of the PLC’s goals and successes. The chapter also describes the PLC’s operations and activities, and, based on a 2020– 2021 PLC member survey, suggests where the organization may be headed in the future.
