On Day Two, you're introduced to advanced processing strategies that are applicable to born-digital and hybrid (i.e. mixed analog and digital) records, with an emphasis on hands-on work. We'll use a variety of software tools to establish descriptive control over digital archives, focusing on arrangement and description at the collection and series levels.

You're involved in a variety of projects every day, from such small projects as developing a new procedures manual to such large projects as digitizing a collection. But because project management methodologies aren't automatically included in formal education or many archival education programs, you'll want to take advantage of this workshop to acquire the basic knowledge and tools necessary for managing successful projects.

Some of the topics discussed include working with partners, risk management, change management, and quality management. You will also learn how to develop business case documentation that helps you get buy in from sponsors and stakeholders, kick off your project, and keep it on track. Finally, you will learn how to evaluate the project management process and the project outcomes to develop a project management methodology that works for you and your institution.

University of Minnesota Libraries, Minneapolis, MN - March 24-25 - REGISTER HERE<http://forums.archivists.org/t/838767/3921373/3619/5/>

Although they have much in common with librarians, records managers, and museum staff, archivists must use different practices to protect the integrity of historical records. A strong archives program puts into practice long-standing archival principles. What are those principles and how do you implement them? This workshop provides an overview of basic archival functions, including appraisal and accessioning, arrangement and description, preservation, and reference.
