Western Archives Institute-Utah reminder



Reminder! The application deadline for the Western Archives Institute to be
held in Salt Lake City is August 1, 2001.

The Western Archives Institute-Utah will be held at the University of Utah
in Salt Lake City October 29-November 9, 2001. The Western Archives
Institute-Utah marks the first time that the program will take place outside
California.

The principal faculty for the program is Terry Eastwood of the School of
Library, Archival and Information Studies (SLAIS) at the University of
British Columbia. Professor Eastwood has written about such subjects as
archival theory, appraisal, electronic records, archival public services,
and archives education. He has taken a special interest in the development
of standards for the description of archives. Joining Professor Eastwood on
the faculty will be distinguished working professionals noted for selected
fields of archival education.

The intensive, two-week program is designed to offer an introduction to
modern archival theory and practice for a variety of participants, including
those whose jobs require a fundamental understanding of archival skills, but
have little or no previous archives education, those who have expanding
responsibility for archival materials or for creation of an archival
program, those who are practicing archivists but have not received formal
instruction, and those who demonstrate a commitment to an archival career.

The program will feature site visits to major repositories, and a diverse
curriculum, which includes development of the profession, manuscripts
acquisition, reference and access, automation, arrangement and description,
archives and the law, electronic records, preservation, outreach, care of
photographs, appraisal, and records management.

Tuition for the program is $550. Housing and meal plans are available at
additional cost. Enrollment for the program is limited.

The Utah program will be co-sponsored by the Utah State Historical Society,
Utah State Archives, the University of Utah, and the Conference of
Inter-Mountain Archivists. The Western Archives Institute is sponsored by
the Society of California Archivists and the California State Archives.
