Activities
In May, the new board began planning for the Chapter's major annual event,
Archives Week. The officers chose Archives and Technology as the theme
for the celebration, using "Archives - They're Virtually Everywhere" as
the slogan. The group raised approximately $900 for the celebrations,
and used the funds to make publicity materials, entertain the speakers,
and have mugs made with the Chapter's logo (Mrs. Eberly Firing the Cannon
in the Texas Archives War of 1842) and slogan, which we sold to raise
further funds. Events during the Week consisted of four speakers and the
Archives Clinic, which the Chapter conducts each year at the Austin History
Center. The talks included the following:
- Monday: Archives and the Law
- Tuesday: E-Archiving and Obsolescence
- Wednesday: Corporate Archives and Technology Management
- Thursday: The Colorado Digitization Project: Imaging and Access
The Archives Clinic, which was the final activity, attracted local newspaper
and television media and Austinites throughout the day. Attendees brought
sound recordings, photographs, land deeds, photograph albums, and other
objects in various states of deterioration, for advice from archives and
conservation students on preserving them.
Other events the Chapter coordinated during the year include the following:
- September: Fall potluck
- October: Larry Hackman talk (cancelled due to scheduling problems)
- February: Winter potluck, Internship talk (student-led discussion
of past internship experiences), Election of new board for 2002-2003
school year
- March: Julie Holcomb talk at Navarro College, Kris Kiesling EAD Workshop,
GSLIS 25th year reunion (presentation given by Chapter officer on
behalf of the Chapter)
- April: Leon Miller talk
- May: Spring potluck
In addition, members of the board agreed to create and submit a poster
for the 2002 SAA annual conference's student poster session.
In summary, this year proved to be very active for the UT Student Chapter.
Archives Week continued to gain in attendance by students and the general
public, the officers worked to build funds so that the Chapter may continue
to sponsor a variety of activities, and the members of the board and the
Chapter-both outgoing and incoming-are enthusiastic about their profession
and the SAA organization.
Respectfully submitted,
Carol Mead
President SAA-UT Student Chapter, 2001-2002
