>Once again the State Library is co-sponsoring a one-day workshop with
>the Northeast Document Conservation Center. "An Introduction to Archives
>Management for Non-Archivists," this year's workshop features Diane Vogt
>O'Connor, archival consultant and Senior Archivist at the National Park
>Service.
>
>This workshop is a very basic introduction to handling archives for
>librarians and curators of special collections who have no previous
>training in archival management. Topics to be covered include:
>how do you determine the value of archival materials?
>how do librarians, curators and archivists differ in their
>approaches?
>what are the basic principles of archival management?
>what health concerns should you be aware of?
>what are the best practices for managing, preserving and
>handling magnetic, paper and photographic records?
>what are the basics of archival finding aids?
>what legal and ethical issues must you evaluate and manage?
>how and when do you secure and restrict collections?
>where can you find help and funding for archival work?
>
>The workshop will be offered twice: on Thursday, March 18, at the Walsh
>Library at Seton Hall University; and at the Gloucester County Library
>in Mullica Hill, from 9:30 to 3:30. The $15.00 fee includes lunch and
>heaps of handouts.
>
>The flyer for this workshop is in the mail to all public and academic
>libraries in New Jersey, and to another 200 or so close personal
>friends--no, I mean, people who have signed up over the years to be on
>my mailing list. If you're interested in participating, and haven't
>received a flyer by next week, please contact me privately with your
>snail address and I'll see that you get one.
