funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.  The workshops
will be co-sponsored by the site institutions

Workshop #1

Library and Information Science, Austin, Texas

Presented in cooperation with the Southeastern Library Network

professionals who have architectural records, drawings or other
oversize paper-based materials in their care or collections.

will help participants identify different original media and
reproductive processes; consider options for management and
organization of architectural records; recognize storage problems
and options; and discuss basic collections care methods and remedial
treatments that can be safely accomplished in-house.

The workshop agenda will also include a presentation by a speaker
from the host site, who will address management issues related to
their unique collections.

The workshops will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Enrollment
will be limited to 30 participants.  The registration fee includes
supplementary materials and lunch. For further information and a
