General Information
Pre-Conference Programs
For in-depth coverage of archival topics of special
interest to you, enhance your conference experience by attending a 1- or
2-day workshop or seminar—and
return to work brimming with new ideas and approaches! To ensure interaction
between the instructor(s) and participants, class size is limited.
For
more information about these education programs on Sunday, Monday, and
Tuesday, see the Schedule at a Glance.
“Archives Unplugged” and “Archives Seminars”
If you’re
new to the profession or are looking for a “refresher” on
the fundamentals, attend an “Archives Unplugged” session on a topic
of interest—and brush up on the basics.
For
a focused, intensive discussion of a range of new or especially complex topics—organizational,
intellectual, cultural, or technological—our
all-new “Archives Seminars” may be just what you’re looking
for. Note that for the two-part Archives
Seminars, attendance at Part 1 is a prerequisite for attendance at Part 2.
See the Schedule at a Glance for more information
on these sessions.
