This workshop will be presented in five different locations. Registration deadline for each workshop is two weeks before workshop date.
Processing is a vital step in archival collections care, but many institutions struggle with where to begin. This hands-on workshop will focus on the fundamentals of archival processing and provide the tools necessary to establish better intellectual and physical control over collections. Topics addressed will include principles of archival arrangement, preservation best practices, and description standards. Participants will work in groups to process a study collection, determining arrangement, completing a basic finding aid, and assigning housing priorities using the procedures presented in the workshop.
Presenter: Amelia Parks, Archives Specialist, DHPSNY
Time: 9:30 AM – 3:30 PM
Lunch will be provided.
