About the Program
Architectural Records Symposium:
Managing and Preserving Design
Records
Architectural records are
vital documentation of our built environment and provide insight into social
and economic trends throughout history. However, collecting, managing,
preserving, and providing access to these records can often feel like a
monumental task for those charged with their care. Speakers at this
symposium will address the challenges involved in managing architectural
records collections, on both theoretical and practical levels, through case
studies, lectures, and demonstrations. Participants will learn about the
significance of architectural records; the array of materials and methods used
to create them, from the earliest processes to those in use today; collecting
policies; appraisal; intellectual control; preventive and remedial preservation
measures; innovations in conservation treatment; methods of access;
reformatting; and management of electronic files; as well as have opportunities
to engage in discussions with fellow participants who are managing similar
collections.
This symposium is
intended for archivists, librarians, curators, historic preservation officers,
records managers, historians, and architects who are involved in collecting,
preserving, and providing access to architectural, landscape, and historic
preservation records in cultural institutions and architectural firms.
