2nd INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL FOR ARCHIVAL BUILDING STUDIES
(ISFABUS II)

with subtitle

Basic conditions, ways, forms and structure of new buildings, adaptation,
long term preservation and safeguarding of archives and new information
media as a part of cultural heritage


INTRODUCTION

The increasing acceleration of modern life and of the whole human activity
as well as of the development of new media and information systems and
subsystems create bigger quantities of records and archives from day to day,
written on classical and new information carriers as well.

In the archival theory and practice we therefore have to pay more attention
to the questions of how to gain new capacities for the long term
preservation and safeguarding of archival material. However, it depends on
the creation of the best conditions, among which building and equipment are
primarily and obvious.

To construct a new archival building or to adapt an existing one for the
needs of archives means to consider big financial resources. Also technical
and professional questions concerning co-operation with other professionals
appear. The archivists have to get proper education since that is the only
way to avoid unprofessional decisions related to new buildings, adaptations
and/or technical equipment.



ORGANIZATION OF ISFABUS II

ISFABUS I was organized in 1996 in Slovenia. Twenty archivists from
different countries took part. Lecturers from many archives and other
institutions gave an updated survey of modern archival buildings,
preservation, storage equipment, standards and modern information
technology.

Regarding the positive results of ISFABUS I the above mentioned institutions
decided to organize the 2nd International School For Archival Building
Studies - ISFABUS II in the year 2001.

The study programme will be divided into lectures, workshops and
professional study of new and adapted buildings as well as the visit of
restoration and conservation workshops in Slovenia, Austria, Italy, Hungary
and Croatia.

The lecturers from France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Italy,
Slovenia, Israel, Switzerland and Slovakia will teach in the morning "ex
cathedra", and in the afternoon they will organize exercises, workshops and
professional discussions.

The main topics of ISFABUS II will be:

1.  New buildings (Duchein, Rumschöttel, Buchmann, Ogris etc.)
2.  Adaptations (Duchein, Klasinc, Brunner, Oppl, Ruhri, Sagstetter)
3.  Repository equipment (Schöggl-Ernst, Haspel, Brunner, Cova, Tató, Dorsi)
4.  Conservation, restoration (Hanus, Hödl, Kolar, Prosser)
5.  New media and computerization (Cook, Riegler, Pivka, Novak)
6.  Other: Typology of archival material (Pferschy); Archival libraries
(Spreitzhofer)

Study visits are planned to archival buildings in: Austria (Wien, Graz);
Slovenia (Maribor, Ljubljana, Ptuj); Italy (Trieste, Venezia); Hungary
(Szombathely); Croatia (Zagreb, Karlovac)

All potential participants who need visa for the above mentioned countries
are asked to provide them considering several entries to each country.

ISFABUS II will take place from 20th October to 11th November 2001 in
Slovenia. The participation fee will be US $ 990 only (including the
participation fees, accomodation, transport, working materials and
simultaneous interpretation). The organizer will provide some scholarships
under special conditions. The course will be organized in a quiet place near
Murska Sobota.

The official language of ISFABUS will be English. The participants should
have at least as much knowledge of the English language in order to follow
the lectures.

All participants will get a confirmation of participation. After having
written a paper within a six month's time approved by ISFABUS they will get
a certificate too.
