ARCHIVES WORKSHOPS SLATED IN SEVERAL OREGON CITIES

The State Historical Records Advisory Board is presenting "Basics of
Records Management" and "Basics of Archives" workshops in Portland,
Salem, Veneta and Wilsonville during November and December. These
workshops are open to all city, county and special district employees,
library employees, local historical society employees and interested
members of the general public. Records management topics will be handled
in the morning session and archives topics in the afternoon session.
Attendees are invited to come to either session, or to attend both
sessions. 

The free workshops will be presented by Dan Cantrall of the Oregon
State Archives. Other presenters from the Archives, the advisory board,
and the Oregon Association of Municipal Recorders may assist in the
presentations at selected workshops. The "Basics of Records Management"
session is an overview of best practices in records management. The
focus will be on covering topics of interest to public governmental
agencies. However, private agencies and individuals may also attend and
may find the material useful because there is a strong intersection of
records management procedure and practice between public and private
entities.  The "Basics of Archives" session is an abbreviated version of
the well-attended course presented in 2007. This session focuses on best
practices in setting up and maintaining institutional archives.
