Museum and Library Archives Institute
June 21-22, 2002

The fifth 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 21-22, 2002.

The 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, oral history, and photography.

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 2002 topic
will address the issue of how to operate an archives on a shoestring.

The Institute will be hosted by the Wilbraham & Monson Academt, a
co-educational boarding and day school for students from the sixth
grade through the post graduate year.  The 197 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.
