Archives Institute 2001



Museum and Library Archives Institute.  June 22-23, 2001.

This notice is being posted on several listservs.  Pardon any
duplication.

          The fourth annual Museum and Library Archives Institute,
sponsored by Monson Free Library and Reading Room Association,
Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, the New England
Archivists, the New England Museum Association, and the Worcester
Historical Museum, will be held at the Wilbraham & Monson Academy,
Wilbraham, Massachusetts, on June 22-23, 2001.
          This Institute consists of two parallel programs: the
Introductory and the Special Topic.  The Introductory Program is
designed for those who have responsibility for museum and library
records and special collections, but limited experience in archival
methods and procedures.  This year's curriculum includes such topics
as collecting, accessioning, appraising, arrangement and description,
reference and access, preservation planning, and fundraising.
          Instead of the Introductory Program, participants may
choose the Special Topic Program.  This track provides an opportunity
to go beyond the introductory level and focus on a particular
archival topic or issue in a comprehensive, in-depth manner.  The
2001 topic is Photography.  Topics include:  identification,
appraisal, arrangement, description, and preservation of photographs,
as well as digital imaging and copyright.
          The Institute will be hosted by the Wilbraham & Monson
Academy, a coeducational boarding and day school for students from
the sixth grade through the post graduate year.  The 196 year-old
school is located in Wilbraham, Massachusetts, a scenic town in the
heart of Pioneer Valley within a ten-mile radius of Springfield,
Massachusetts.
