Wednesday, Oct. 22 (12-1 pm Mountain)
The Society of Georgia Archivists, the Atlanta chapter of
ARMA International, and the Georgia Library Association present a
train-the-trainer session on Personal Digital Archiving. Designed for
information professionals from all backgrounds and levels of experience, this
session will empower participants to see themselves as archivists of their own
digital records and will cover topics ranging from best practices for creating
digital records and rights issues in the digital landscape to strategies for
storing digital records and emerging developments regarding the digital
afterlife. After completing the workshop, attendees will be encouraged to teach
the workshop to their users--the public, co-workers, students, etc.--in their
own diverse institutional contexts. The end goal of the workshop will thus be
to advocate for informational professionals as a source of expertise for
assisting individuals (the public, family members, students, corporate
employees, etc.) with their personal digital archiving needs.
