material that adequately express the quality, quantity, and usability of the
material has been challenging for archival practitioners. Using the <a href="https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9cg222jc"><span style="color:windowtext">UC
Guidelines for Born-Digital Archival Description</span></a> as a foundation and
jumping-off point, this workshop will address the unique set of needs inherent
to digital archival material and focus on improving descriptive practices in a
real-world context. Participants will become familiar with a range of
techniques to improve the clarity, usefulness, and consistency of finding aids,
learn how to apply these efficiently at varying levels within a collection, and
gain hands-on experience translating these into practice using real-world
collections. This workshop is designed to be heavily interactive. A series of
hands-on exercises and activities will help participants hone their
decision-making skills by providing real-life examples of collection materials
and finding aids</span><span lang="EN" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">.</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt 0cm;line-height:16.8667px"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><b><span lang="EN">Date:</span></b><span lang="EN"> Wednesday, June 22, 2022</span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt 0cm;line-height:115%"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><span lang="EN" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt 0cm;line-height:16.8667px"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><b><span lang="EN">Time:</span></b><span lang="EN"> 9:15am – 12:15pm PST</span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt 0cm;line-height:16.8667px"><span lang="EN"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><b>Registration:</b> AABC members $90.00; non-members $135.00</font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt 0cm;line-height:16.8667px"><span lang="EN"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><b>Registration deadline:</b> June 20, 2022 (max 25 participants)</font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt 0cm;line-height:16.8667px"><span lang="EN" style=""><font face="arial, sans-serif" style="">For more information and registration links, please visit: <a href="https://aaobc.wildapricot.org/page-18125" style="">https://aaobc.wildapricot.org/page-18125</a></font></span></p><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Lisa<br></div><div><br></div><div>Lisa Glandt, MAS</div><div>Education and Advisory Services (EAS) Coordinator</div><div>Archives Association of British Columbia</div><div><div style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-family:wf_segoe-ui_normal,"Segoe UI","Segoe WP",Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif"><a href="mailto:aabc.advisor@aabc.ca" target="_blank"><font size="2">aabc.advisor@aabc.ca</font></a></div><div style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-family:wf_segoe-ui_normal,"Segoe UI","Segoe WP",Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif"><br></div></div><div style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-family:wf_segoe-ui_normal,"Segoe UI","Segoe WP",Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif"><font size="2"><span></span><span></span><br></font></div><div style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-family:wf_segoe-ui_normal,"Segoe UI","Segoe WP",Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif"><font size="2"><br></font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
