Caring for Historical Records
Historic Northampton. Monday August 24, 9am-4pm
Instructor: Anne Ostendarp, Consulting and Project Archivist
Description: This workshop is for those responsible for the care of historical records or those interested in developing a historical records collection. It is especially useful for staff and volunteers working in libraries, museums, historical societies, or municipal governments who have responsibility for archival materials but no formal training in archival practice. Through a combination of lecture, group discussion, and exercises, participants will get an overview of the fundamentals of archival organization, including the basic principles and practices of identification, acquisition, preservation, arrangement and description of historical records. The topics of access, reference and outreach will also be explored. This workshop will help participants develop policies, forms, and procedures to manage archival collections
NEA thanks University Products, Inc. for its support of this workshop.
