Guest speaker, Brien Brothman will presented a paper titled, " 'Making Up People:'
The State, Records, and Individual Identity in Jose Saramago's All The Names." Brien
Brothman works as an archivist at the Rhode Island State Archives; he has published
scholarly articles in Archivaria and The American Archivist. Brothman's work
considers archival practice through a range of critical lenses. Students attended
from the SAA group as well as the School of Information Science at large. Brothman's
talk created a venue where students could ask questions about the theoretical
issues surrounding some of the everyday tasks facing a professional archivist.
May 2, 2002
The SAA hosted an informal discussion with staff and faculty at the Department
of Special Collections, SUNY-Albany concerning career opportunities in the
field of archival studies. This was a great opportunity for burgeoning archivists
to ask questions about the interview process and the types of jobs available
to archivists.

Trip to the Albany County Hall of Records. The Hall of Records has recently
moved to a new location, at 95 Tivoli Street. This new site provides almost
twice the storage space as the two buildings previously used by the County
for record storage. The records manager gave students a tour of the facility.
The records manager discussed all aspects of the records/archives operation
and questions were encouraged.

trip on this occasion to Williamstown, Massachusetts. We met with the college

various spaces. We also visit the Rare Book Collection at the college as well
as the museum.
