Dear Aric,
Check with your State's Archivist. Here is Georgia, our State Archives, The
Carter Presidential Center, and the Library School at Clark Atlanta University
hold an archives institute each summer. It's a 6 week course that gives
novices an overview and introduction to archiving, via lectures as well as
hands-on workshops, and a practicum. When I took it some years ago, I got
to do the practicum at CNN and with the Atlanta Braves' Archives. It was
interesting as well as very informative.
