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 <www.soga.org>.  The registration deadline is July 24th.
