Instructor: Richard Shrake, Assistant Librarian for Technology and Security, American Philosophical Society 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.
