Developing an Archives: Embracing the Messiness of the Real World

Are you responsible for a storage room full of disorganized materials, or are you uncertain about what archival materials are on your shelves? The prospect of organizing and developing your archive can be daunting. If the process is divided into simple tasks, it becomes much easier to manage. Where does one begin? Join the CARLI Archives Task Force for an Archives & Special Collection workshop on September 18 at 1:00 p.m. for Developing an Archives: Embracing the Messiness of the Real World.

The session will include a panel of three archivists from various institution types who will discuss how to assess and plan for the care and development of your archive. The conversation will apply to all sizes of collections, from a small storage cupboard to the contents of a large storeroom.

Speakers:

  *   Rebecca Fitzsimmons, Special Collections Librarian at Illinois State University
  *   Ashley Howdeshell, University Archivist at Northeastern Illinois University
  *   Meghan Ryan, Special Collections and Cataloging Librarian at National Louis University
  *   Moderator: Elaine Page, Head of Technical Services, University Archivist at Elmhurst University
