March 2013 Paper Conservation Workshop

The Indiana SHRAB hosted a paper conservation workshop at the Indiana State Archives on March 21, 2013. The SHRAB invited volunteers and professionals from around Indiana to take part in the workshops, which provided valuable information to those who work with and care for historical records. The SHRAB Workshop focused on preservation and hands-on repair of paper records. The workshop included a boxed lunch. Attendees could receive Library Education Units, but space was limited.

May 2012 Digital Preservation Workshop

The Indiana SHRAB hosted volunteers and professionals responsible for managing and preserving digital content at the Indiana State in March. Registrants were invited to a free digital preservation workshop on May 31, 2012. The eight-hour workshop was based on curriculum developed by the Library of Congress' Digital Preservation Outreach and Education Program (DPOE). The Indiana State Historic Records Advisory Board, in conjunction with the Indiana State Library and Indiana Commission on Public Records, hosted and taught the workshop.

This workshop introduced fundamental concepts for managing your digital content over time through a series of six modules:

  • Identify – what digital content do you have?

  • Select – what portion of that content is your responsibility to preserve?

  • Store – what issues are there for long-term storage?

  • Protect – what steps need to be taken to protect your digital content?

  • Manage – what provisions should be made for long term management?

  • Provide – what considerations are there for long term access?

Intended Audience:

  • People responsible for managing and preserving digital content (such as such as websites, email, electronic records, and digital photos, music, and video);

  • City/county clerks, recorders, IT staff; staff at libraries, archives, historical societies, museums who are responsible for digital content; and

  • People with little-to-no knowledge of digital preservation basics; it’s important to emphasize that this is a very basic overview of concepts and an introduction to resources for beginners/novices. It will not go into more specific/technical detail or advanced concepts.

The workshop, which ran from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m, included a complementary lunch (courtesy of the SHRAB), and certified public library professionals in attendance could receive up to six Technology Library Education Units. The workshop was limited to 50 participants.

2011 Fall Conference

The Indiana SHRAB partnered with the  Society of Indiana Archivists (SIA) to produce the SIA Fall Workshop, Nuts and Bolts: Archives Basics. The workshop focused on "accidental archivists" or new archivists -- some who perhaps have been assigned archives work and are not sure what to do now. The morning session gave participants a chance to work with actual collections in small groups. The afternoon was devoted to management issues that might surprise you: creating a finding aid to assist users in discovering the collection, working with patrons and donors, as well as digitizing your first collection and marketing. The workshop was held at the DePauw University Archives in Greencastle, Indiana.
