CA workshops: Preservation & XML



I'd like to point out that the two Society of California Archivists pre-conference workshops are open to non-members and you can register for them separately (or even without) attending the Annual General Meeting in Santa Rosa.

Thursday, April 26, 10 a.m.- 5 p.m.
Preserving Your Historical Records: An Archival Holdings Maintenance
Workshop
Instructor: Blythe Lee, Preservation Field Services Officer, AMIGOS
        This workshop will cover the basics of proper care and storage of archives and manuscript collections, including an overview of the causes of deterioration; selection of folders, boxes, and other housing materials; processing archives; providing storage for oversized materials, maps, and photographs; proper handling and exhibition practices; basic paper repair techniques; and the development of holdings maintenance policies, guidelines, and practices.

Thursday, April 26, 9 a.m.- 5 p.m.
Exploring XML: eXtensible Mark-Up Language
Instructor: Richard Marciano, UC San Diego Super Computing Center programmer and a participant in the NHPRC-funded project entitled "Methodologies for Preservation and Access to Electronic Records."
        Geared towards the needs of archivists, this introductory workshop will provide an overview of available XML tools currently used to create documents and retrieve data on the web, discuss XML's use in data management, and explore new applications of XML including collection-based persistent digital archives and topic maps. Participants are also encouraged to bring their thoughts for discussions about archival issues where online tools could help resolve archival challenges.
