Understanding Archives:
An Introduction to Archival Basics 

Proper archival procedures enable safe and effective management of collections, yet volunteers, historians, and those with archival responsibilities in addition to other duties may find themselves in the position of "archivist" without formal training in the profession. Topics covered during this workshop include the fundamentals of archival appraisal, acquisition, and access; proper storage materials; and the most common preservation problems found with paper-based archival collections. This workshop will touch briefly on processing, arrangement, and description.

Speaker: Anastasia Matijkiw, Program Coordinator, DHPSNY
