  1. Put on Your Printing Cap

  Spend a morning in the Book Arts Lab. This workshop will provide participants the opportunity to set wooden type and print their own multi-colour broadside to commemorate the ACA's 50th Anniversary. You will also acquire a better appreciation for how some of the items in your own archives and special collections  were produced. Instruction will be led by the lab's own Master Printer - Larry Thompson. Learn how type is set, inked and reacts to paper in the printing press. A rare opportunity to work in the busy lab on a project.

  Cost includes a $10 materials fee. Limited to 15 participants

  2. AI Tools for Audio Archives

  Incomplete metadata is one major barrier to accessibility of audio archives, in this hands-on workshop, we will examine a suite of tools for audio metadata enrichment.

  Participants should bring a laptop, and digital materials will be provided. Limit to 30 participants.

  3. Indigenous and Accountable AI for the Archival Professions

  The goal of this workshop is to explore how archivists can critically evaluate and incorporate new technologies like AI/ML into their work while still upholding their responsibilities as stewards of cultural memory.

  This beginner-level workshop aims to empower archivists to begin preserving web content using accessible and user-friendly tools. As the collective cultural record moves increasingly online, the issue of long-term preservation of web content is more pressing than ever. This workshop is catered to community archives and other cultural heritage institutions with limited resources looking to start a web archiving project. This workshop will introduce participants to the practice of web archiving and provide guidance to start building web collections on a small scale. It aims to encourage active participation through a mix of hands-on practice, live demonstrations, and discussions. The workshop will cover some helpful concepts and terms in web archiving, provide sample workflows to guide a web archiving project and give participants the opportunity to practice archiving web pages using open-source web archiving tools.

  Instructors: Sarah Lake and Helene Brousseau
