I have been asked to post this. Such an exciting opportunity for anyone who can do it.

Electronic Records “Summer Camp”

Where? University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

When? July 27 though July 31

Early discount available through May 26!

If you are an archivist with a good understanding of archival principles and techniques who needs basic, practical, hands-on training to apply those principles to records in electronic form, you won’t want to miss this opportunity! After the introduction to electronic records and the components of an electronic records program, you’ll discuss each major archival function—appraisal and disposition, accessioning, arrangement, description, preservation, and access—and view a demonstration of some of the relevant technologies, discuss the archival implications of what you just saw, and participate in hands–on exercises using the demonstrated technologies with electronic records from your home institution. Before you leave “Summer Camp” you’ll develop a plan for the next steps to take when you return to your institution.

Seven great instructors lend their expertise and talent to this learning experience!
