          ******************Preservation Planning for Archives*****************
                         
          The basic elements of archival arrangement and description- surveying, 
          selecting, and holdings maintenance- are essential components of 
          archives preservation management.  These activities exemplify a 
          practical approach to preserving materials housed in repositories, 
          regardless of size or scope.  The emphasis is on stabilizing archival 
          records in order to extend their life by: determining the preservation 
          needs of the institution, developing a systematic methodology for 
          preservation priorities, and improving housing and storage materials 
          and practices.
                         
          This workshop is cosponsored by the Society of Georgia Archivists 
          and will be held on Wednesday, May 17 at the Georgia Music Hall of 
          Fame, Macon, GA from 9am-4pm.

          ***********Introduction to Digital Imaging Technologies************* 
             *****************for Libraries & Archives***************
                         
          The increase in digital imaging projects for library and archival 
          collections raises many issues related to selection, resource 
          allocation and long-term access (preservation).  These issues must be 
          thoroughly examined before an institution undertakes a digital imaging 
          project.
                         
          Issues addressed in this one-day workshop include the following: What 
          collections or resources are appropriate for digital conversion?  How 
          will the digital files be maintained?  Who is responsible for 
          ensuring future access to this digital information?  Is future access 
          necessary?  Institutions considering imaging project must consider 
          these questions.  This workshop is designed to provide participants 
          with the tools needed to make informed decision about undertaking 
          scanning projects.
                         
          This workshop will be held on Friday, June 2nd, 2000 at Louisiana
