GEORGIA ARCHIVES INSTITUTE
June 11-22, 2001, in Atlanta

Designed for beginning archivists, manuscript curators, and librarians, the 34th Georgia Archives Institute will offer general instruction in basic concepts and practices of archival administration and management of traditional and modern documentary materials.  The Institute is sponsored by the Georgia Department of Archives and History, the Jimmy Carter Library, and the Atlanta Regional Consortium for Higher Education.  Dr. Elizabeth Yakel of the University of Michigan will be the instructor during the first week.  Topics will include acquisition, appraisal, arrangement, description, reference, and legal and administrative issues.  Kathleen Roe of the New York State Archives will speak on the MARC format, and Hilary A. Kaplan of the Georgia Department of Archives and History will speak on preservation.  The remainder of the Institute is devoted to a practicum experience, during which students disperse to several local archival institutions.

Tuition is $500.  Enrollment is limited and the deadline for receipt of application, resume, and $75 application fee (refunded if not admitted to Institute) is April 1, 2001.  Tuition does not cover transportation, housing, or meals.  Housing information is available upon request.  (The Society of Georgia Archivists awards one scholarship for the Institute consisting of full payment of tuition.)  For an application to the Institute or information, please contact:
