Registration is open for the webinar “Developing an Archives: Embracing the Messiness of the Real World”. It will take place on Wednesday, September 18, from 1:00 to 2:00 PM CDT. Please see below for more information, including the link to registration.
Are you responsible for a storage room full of disorganized materials, or are you uncertain about what archival materials are on your shelves? The prospect of organizing and developing your archive can be daunting. If the process is divided into simple tasks, the process becomes much easier to manage. Where does one begin? This Archives and Special Collections workshop will include a panel of three archivists from various institution types who will discuss how to assess and plan for the care and development of your archive. The conversation will apply to all sizes of collections, from a small storage cupboard to the contents of a large storeroom.
Speakers: Rebecca Fitzsimmons, Illinois State University; Ashley Howdeshell, Northeastern Illinois University; Meghan Ryan, National Louis University; and Moderator Elaine Page, Elmhurst University
The CARLI Archives Task Force is the sponsor.
