workshops, and other events.

The meeting itself, held April 27-29, in Bloomington/Normal, 
Illinois, will include all the workshops, tours, sessions and 
networking events that have built MAC's reputation as a leader among 
archival professional organizations nationwide,  It'll have something 
for everyone in the fields of archives, special collections 
librarianship, conservation, public history and museum work.  Be sure

Come find out what MAC veterans know well: that MAC meetings are the 
best deal in professional development you are going to find anywhere, 
what with the great sessions, workshop opportunities, and fun and 
enlightening tours and social events--all of which build archival careers.

This year's highlights include workshops on oral histories, 
preserving scrapbooks, and outreach; the plenary "Telling the Story 
of the Poor: Journalism and Archival Memory," by Pulitzer prize 
winner Leon Dash; a tour of the newly opened Abraham Lincoln 
Presidential Library and Museum in nearby Springfield; and sessions 
on small museum development, preserving the history of Midwestern 
Latinos, lending of rare research items, and many others!  Of course 
this is in addition to the other great tours, conference sessions, 
meetings, and opening reception that make the MAC annual meeting so important.
