We will cover the basics of:

• setting up an archives,
• developing collection policies,
• accessioning and processing collections,
• establishing basic conservation/preservation guidelines
• and more!

Each attendee will receive a notebook and a box with archival materials and tools; each institution also gets a CD that provides them free access to the American Association of State and Local History (AASLH) Archives 101 on-line course website (usually costs $90).
