I am really excited about being able to share with all of you the progress made to date on putting together a really dynamite Archives Workshop. With the help of the Archives Association of Ontario's (AAO) Archives Advisor, Carolynn Bart-Riedstra, and Preservation Consultant, Iona McCraith, we have been able to confirm two excellent speakers who are professionals in their fields and also to secure the commitment of Queen's Unviversity Archives to give us a tour on Saturday afternoon (which they don't ordinarily do for it is closed on Saturdays)! Both speakers, Jermey Heil on Electronic Data storage, and Iona McCraith on Principles of Preservation, are aware of our principle of poverty and anonymity. Though they are professionals in their respective fields they have spoken often to groups of novices such as ourselves and are intrigued by our 'unorganized' organization.
Remember this is a potluck lunch so bring a bag of sandwhiches, a bunch of fruit, a little something sweet and let's have a really great day!
