Archivists work diligently to preserve the physical integrity of their
collections, but may overlook the threats that malicious or careless
humans pose. This workshop will provide an introduction to basic
archival security, especially concerning perimeter control, internal
workflow monitoring, researcher access, and storage. Designed for
repositories considering a security upgrade, this workshop will
proceed from site survey to design to implementation, and will include
an analysis of both planning and current technology. While advanced
security systems can be expensive, archivists can apply the principles
of basic security design to meet their current budgets.  The
instructor, Richard Shrake, recently implemented a new security system
at his library as part of a major renovation.

Location: Tremont Plaza, 222 St. Paul Place, Baltimore, MD 21202
