Join the Cultural Resource Management Program at the University of
Victoria for the following 6-day learning opportunity hosted in
Victoria, BC:

MANAGING ARCHIVAL COLLECTIONS

Many museums hold archival materials including documents and photographs
that require specialized care and management. This new course focuses on
archives as an important component of museum collections and develops
your understanding of ways in which they should be organized, managed,
preserved and shared. While there is common ground between the
management of artifacts and the management of archives, recognizing the
distinctions is important to caring effectively for documentary
materials and increasing their role in the museum environment.
Regardless of the kind of institution you work in, this course
strengthens your understanding of 

*	the nature of archival materials 
*	theories, principles, and practices governing archival
management 
*	legal, administrative, and professional frameworks 
*	appraisal, acquisition, and accessioning of archives 
*	arrangement and description, including the application of
archival descriptive standards 
*	physical processing, storage, conservation, and preservation 
*	reference services and access issues 
*	using archives to enhance exhibits, educational offerings, and
outreach initiatives 
*	the role of archives in culture and heritage 

Dates: June 18 - 23, 2007, with a preparatory assignment
