The 2021-2022 CALL Archives Committee was comprised of Committee co-chairs Brittany Adams and Lucy Robbins, as well as Committee members, Claire Toomey Durkin and Joe Mitzenmacher.  We tried to find material for the 75th anniversary, but due to a lack of staffing at our libraries and other difficulties, it could not be completed.  The COVID pandemic continued to be an issue in our work on this committee, and thus, this committee was mostly inactive.
