Sound Recordings Workshop
Good
Afternoon,
The deadline for this workshop is rapidly approaching. If you're
interested, please let us know.
The
Society of Georgia Archivists announces the following workshop:
Administration of Sound Recordings in an Archives
Location: Georgia
College and State University, Milledgeville, GA
Date: Friday, August 11,
2000
Registration Deadline:
July 24, 2000
Instructor: Chris Paton,
Georgia State University
Registration fee: $35
SGA Members; $50 for Nonmembers
This one-day workshop will begin with a brief history of recording
formats. Types of recorded media and technology used, from
phonograph records through audiotapes will be discussed, as well as aging
and deterioration characteristics of each medium. Methods for
extending the life of non-archival formats, including proper storage and
handling of the materials and the types of equipment required for staff
and patron use of audiovisual recordings will be introduced. Sound
recordings are among the most challenging formats found in twentieth
century archival collections; these recordings contain irreplaceable
information, yet are inherently unstable formats.
Enrollment is limited. For further information, please visit our
website at

The registration deadline is July 24th.
