State About the Program Proper archival
procedures and preservation actions enable safe and effective management of
archival collections. Attendees at this two-day program will gain insight into
management and preservation activities that will improve intellectual control
over collections, increase collections accessibility, and assist in long-term
preservation initiatives. Day 1: An Introduction to Archival
Management: Appraisal, Arrangement, and Description Managing archival
collections can be a daunting task. Whether an archives has procedures in
place or is just being established, day-to-day decisions about the management
of the collections must be made. Program participants will be introduced to
theories and practical applications that will help them make thoughtful choices
about what materials to accession into their collections and how to physically
organize the materials. Developing finding aids and other tools for increased
collection access will also be addressed Speaker:
Beth Bensman, Manager of Public
Services and Outreach at the Presbyterian Historical Society (PHS), is a
Certified Archivist and currently serves as the chair of the Society of
American Archivists’ Manuscript Repositories Section. She has taught
several workshops on the care and management of archival collections. In her
position at PHS, Bensman is responsible for overseeing reference services and
coordinating outreach activities. Day 2: Archives Preservation: Maintaining
and Protecting Collections Archival repositories around the country hold priceless and
irreplaceable documents, photographs, books, and scrapbooks. The task of
preserving these materials often falls to those with little formalized
training. This program will introduce participants to the fundamentals of
archival preservation. Topics covered will include the nature of archival
materials that effect preservation and access to collections; environment;
storage materials; storage solutions; handling; reformatting options; and
conservation of archival materials. Speaker: Hilary A. Kaplan is a Senior Conservator at the National
