Future Archives Presentations
August 11, 2009. Archivists Riccardo Ferrante and Lynda Schmitz Fuhrig team with North Carolina State Archives's Electronic Records Archivist Kelly Eubank to deliver a half-day workshop "Achieving Email Account Preservation with XML" at the Society of American Archivists 2009 annual meeting in Austin, Texas.
August 13-14, 2009. Tammy Peters, Jennifer Wright and Ginger Yowell of the Archives Division present the poster "Doing It Yourself (Almost): The Dreaded Move." Between 2006 and 2009 the Smithsonian Institution Archives moved
approximately 26,000 cubic feet of records into three new facilities,
relying almost entirely on existing resources. SIA used this opportunity to
improve the physical condition and intellectual control of its collections.
This presentation is at the Society of American Archivists 2009 annual meeting in Austin.
About the Archives
The Archives maintains the historical records of the Institution, and access to Smithsonian history through a variety of tools and products. We work to assure historical accountability for Institutional actions and programs while providing a resource for the study of American science, culture, and museum development. |
