PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP
The Education and Training Committee is presenting a pre-conference workshop
on "Audio Archives 101: Identification, Organization, Preservation," on May
11.

This day-long workshop is aimed primarily at students; those new to audio
archiving; and experienced professional archivists, librarians, and
administrators who find themselves dealing with the challenges of legacy
audio formats for the first time. Speaker presentations and hands-on
activities will focus on media identification, appraisal, care and
maintenance, and reformatting of the most common types of sound recordings.

A separate registration fee applies for the workshop. Pre-registration is
required. For more information, see:
