SOA TRACK - Friday Oct 5

9-9:50am - Basics of Finding Aids
Writing finding aids for your collections can feel daunting if you don't know where to start. This session is intended for individuals who have little or no prior experience writing finding aids, and will focus on just the basics: what information does a finding aid absolutely need to include to meet archival best practices, and how can you get there simply.
Cate Putirskis and/or Morag Boyd, The Ohio State University Libraries

10:10-11:00am - Project STAND
This session by this year's SOA Merit Award winner will highlight and discuss Project STAND (Student Activism Now Documented), which unifies historical materials documenting student activism from a variety of academic institutions.
Lae'l Hughes-Watkins, University Archivist, Assistant Professor, Kent State University

11:20-12:10pm - Grant Opportunities for Preservation and Access
Representatives from the Ohio Historical Records Advisory Board and the Ohio Preservation Council will discuss grant opportunities relating to preserving and providing access to historical materials offered by their respective organizations.
Ashleigh Schieszer, Ohio Preservation Council; Representative from OHRAB

2:00-2:50pm - Ask an Archivist
This panel will feature archivists from different sized institutions and with a variety of job descriptions ready to discuss a variety of archival issues including donor relations, digital projects, archival best practices, and more. Come ready with archives questions!
Presenters TBD

3:10-4:00pm - Bertie's Journals: The Dawes Arboretum Digitization Project
In late 2016, The Dawes Arboretum History Department began to prepare for the digitization of its entire archival collection. The starting point of this project would be to digitize Arboretum co-founder Bertie Dawes's journals. This presentation, using the journals as a case study, will outline the steps small institutions can take to begin mass digitization projects that have an online presence.
Sarah Aisenbrey, Archivist, The Dawes Arboretum
