Re: SAA Archival History Roundtable meeting



Bruce,

You may have already filled the roundtable program, but if not, I would be
interested in making a brief presentation. I am beginning research on a
historical overview of American archival development, focusing on the social
meanings of historical records, the role of archives in society, and the
development of a profession based on managing archives. This is in early
stages, so what I would like to do is make a 5-10 minute presentation and
solicit suggestions.

If this is too late, no problem.

Thanks,

Rand

                The Archival History Roundtable will meet at the SAA
conference in
                Denver on Friday, 1 September from 3:30-5:00.  We are
looking for
                people who would be interested in presenting papers on
archival history
                topics.  In the last several years papers have been given on
the HRC
                in a particular state; the history of state historical
society and archives
                and of a private historical society; archival legislation in
the early
                nineteenth century U.S.; the use of historical documentation
by a prominent
                19th century historian; the history of archival development
in a U.S.
                colonial possession; the evolution of a prominent archival
principle;
                biographical studies of prominent archivists; and an
overview of archives
                in ancient Athens.  Obviously, the definition of archival
history is very
                broad.  Many of the papers were done for class assignments
in archival
                education programs, but some represent ongoing research at
the post graduate
                level.
                If you would be interested in making a presentation to the
Roundtable
                at the Denver meeting, please contact me.
                Thanks,
