"You Can Run but You Can?t Hide: Meeting the Challenges of Non-Traditional
Archival Records"
Repositories regularly acquire collections that include formats such as
artifacts, electronic records, and non-standard sized paper records. These
items are accepted because they are part of larger traditional archival
collections, but are often regarded as incidental or as problems to be
ignored. This session will focus on the nature of documentary evidence
provided by such special items. Additionally, strategies for making them
accessible for current researchers and preserving them for future
generations are covered.
Instructors: Pam Hackbart-Dean (Georgia State Archives), Jill Severn
(University of Georgia Libraries), Carol Crawford, (USC)
"In the beginning?: Revelations on the Start-Up of a New Digitization
Project"
We have all attended presentations that have dealt with digitization
projects in their finished and completed form. This session provides the
experiences of the start-up of a digitization project. Covered will be the
challenges, the successes, the failures, and the optimistic expectations of
first time digitizers. This session will be presented in a dual lecture and
hands-on format. So bring that favorite document or photograph to digitize
it.
Instructors: Pat Morris (SCDAH), Sarah Murray (SCDAH)
"They?ve Got It, You Need It: The Basics of Grant Writing"
We have all heard it: "There is money available, but you just have to seek
it out." The speakers in this session will discuss recent successes in grant
writing for archival projects. Additional topics include sources of grant
funding and strategies for grant writing.
Instructors: Aimee Berry (SCSU), Michael Kohl (Clemson University), Barbara

"When Rice Cultivation is not Farming: Indexing Archival Records"
Indexing is one of the final steps in an archival description and also one
of the most difficult and exasperating. This session will focuses on the
steps in providing the necessary tools and knowledge in creating indexing
terms for your descriptions. Topics covered will be content analysis,
Library of Congress Subject Terms, APPM indexing, and other indexing tools.

reference desk, publicity and the impact of the Internet on reference
services.

"Proactive Archives: 9/11 Case Study"
Experienced archivists Michael Kohl, Tom Johnson and Jeanette Bergeron lead
a participant seminar in developing a proactive collection policy for
archives on the September 11 (9/11) terrorism events. It will cover planning
for acquisitions, appraisal, arrangement, description, coordination with
other collecting agencies, and preservation. The seminar is for those who
will actually manage 9/11 collections as well as those who want general
exposure to the steps of a collection planning model.
