What is Archivists Being Awesome? PACSCL Meeting, February 6, 2013 Laurie Rizzo
Archivists Being Awesome is a new series of DVAG get-togethers for archivists in the Delaware Valley. • One part bragging platform, one part skill share, two parts making new friends and being inspired by the work of others, the ABA will give area archivists a chance to briefly describe exciting projects they’re involved in.
Presentations on various topics including: • Email preservation • Apps for Archivists • Islandora • South Asian American Digital Archives • Moving an Archives • Literary Manuscripts • Data manipulation tools for Archivists • Board games for History Education • Barnes Foundation – year in review • Security improvements for collections • Donor Relations and embracing “Other duties as assigned”
How PACSCL can help: • Offer your institution to host a meeting • Encourage your staff members to present or attend • Attend and/or present at meetings yourself!
