            Sixteenth Annual Archives Institute To
Be Held

The 16th annual Western Archives Institute will be
held at The University of
Redlands in Redlands, California, July 14-July 26,
2002. The intensive,
two-week program provides integrated instruction
in basic archival practices
to individuals with a variety of goals, 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, those who are practicing archivists but
have not received formal
instruction, and those who demonstrate a
commitment to an archival career.

The Principal Faculty Member will be Tim Ericson,
Assistant Library Director
for Archives and Special Collections at the
University of Wisconsin at
Milwaukee. He is University Archivist and directs
operation of the
Milwaukee-region Area Research Center, a statewide
network of regional
archives and is working with community and
regional records repositories.
He is leading a mentoring project pairing
professional archivists with
historical societies, libraries, and museums in
need of assistance caring
for historical records.  Ericson also teaches
archives administration
courses in the university's graduate education
program. Previously, he was
the Society of American Archivists Education
Officer and has worked as an
archivist and map curator at the State Historical
Society of Wisconsin.
Joining him on the faculty will be distinguished
working professionals noted
for selected fields of archives education.  In
addition, the program will
include site visits to local historical records
repositories.

The program will feature site visits to historical
records repositories, and
a diverse curriculum, that includes history and
development of the
profession, theory and terminology, records
management, appraisal,
arrangement, description, manuscripts acquisition,
archives and the law,
photographs, preservation administration,
reference and access, automation,
outreach programs, and managing archival programs
and institutions.

Tuition for the program is $550 and includes a
selection of archival
publications. Housing and meal plans are available
at additional cost.
Admission is by application only and enrollment is
limited. The application
