Developing an Archives: Ebracing the Messiness of the Real World

Are you responsible for a storage room full of disorganized materials, or are you uncertain about what archival materials are on your shelves? The prospect of organizing and developing your archive can be daunting. If the process is divided into simple tasks, the process becomes much easier to manage. Where does one begin? This Archives and Special Collections workshop will include a panel of three archivists from various institution types who will discuss how to assess and plan for the care and development of your archive. The conversation will apply to all sizes of collections, from a small storage cupboard to the contents of a large storeroom.

Speakers:

Rebecca Fitzsimmons, Illinois State University
Ashley Howdeshell, Northeastern Illinois University
Meghan Ryan, National Louis University
Moderator: Elaine Page, Elmhurst University
