Archives Institute 2001



LAST CALL FOR ARCHIVES INSTITUTE

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, and the New England Museum Association, 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.
