[Carleton, Janet]

Please join us in Athens on Weds Dec 5 for a day-long SAA workshop on Archival Exhibitions taught by Jessica Lacher-Feldman. 

Description: 
Here's your opportunity to explore the planning, development, and implementation of exhibitions in an archives setting! Get practical training and theoretical knowledge of developing an exhibit in a special collections setting from the initial idea through planning, exhibiting, and beyond..... Create discussion and collaboration beyond the archives-- by advertising and marketing the exhibit, outreach and education, adding impact through the development of related events, working with the media to publicize your event, reaching a broader audience, and developing a digital component to the exhibit. Also included are practical tips on the use of readily-available materials to create a professional, informative, and attractive exhibit without compromising the source. 

Upon completion of this workshop, you'll be able to:
    - Understand the fundamentals of developing an archival exhibit;
    - Develop potential exhibition ideas and initial plans to bring back to your home institution;
    - Use everyday materials to create exhibitions that look professional;
    - Expand the general concept of the archives exhibition to include tie-ins with lectures, readings, campus or community events, holidays, etc; and
    - Use tools to build an exhibit with minimal effort and cost.

Who should attend? 
Archives professionals, from novice to seasoned, who are interested in developing exhibitions within their repository as well as students in archival studies and other information professionals who are considering expanding their public service and outreach skills through exhibition development. An understanding of your own collection and the ability to think creatively and resourcefully are musts!
