  Introduction to Archival Description in Canada

  When: Thursday, March 5 at 2:00pm EST

  This workshop will provide participants with a solid introduction to archival arrangement and description.  Topics include guiding principles for arrangement and description, minimum elements for a basic/level one description, authority records, access points, and an introduction to Access to Memory (AtoM), an open-source archival management system.  Content standards including Rules for Archival Description (RAD), Encoded Archival Description (EAD), EAC-CPF (authority record standard), and Describing Archives: A Content Standard (DACS) will be discussed, along with crosswalks between the standards.

  Participants will complete an arrangement exercise and a description exercise and will leave this 2.5 hour workshop feeling empowered to tackle the processing of records using a content standard such as RAD or DACS. There will be time for questions at the end of the workshop.  The workshop will be of interest to archivists in the USA and Canada.

  Instructors: Mary Grace Kosta and Jannah Toms
