The first ARLIS/NA conference held in New York City in 1973 ended with a rap session addressing the questions: Who Are We? Where Are We Going? Fifty years later, four long-time members of the Society reflect on those questions, providing some perspective on the origins, early years and accomplishments of ARLIS/NA. What was the impetus for a stand-alone organization, given the many other library associations with art librarian members? Who were the leaders who made it happen? How did the chapters develop? Who were the exhibitors and sponsors? How did the publications advance the profession? What were some of the highlights along the way? The presenters are Janis Ekdahl, Sherman Clarke, Milan Hughston, and Betty Jo Kish Irvine. The session took place on April 6, 2022 and was moderated by Carol Terry. This recording is made available under a Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0 license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/.”)
