I have been asked to post this here SUSTAINABILITY FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE INSTITUTIONS There are only 2 business days left to register for this workshop... The Society of Ohio Archivists (SOA) will be hosting its Fall Symposium during Archives Week in Dublin, Ohio, on Tuesday, October 11, 2005 from 9:30 am-3:30 pm. This year's topic is Sustainability: Business Planning for Cultural Heritage Institutions. Many projects begin with a great idea and some grant funding. However, even the most successful projects have trouble determining how to continue once grant funding ends. In order to sustain these valuable efforts, librarians, museums, archives, and historical societies need to plan for sustainability at the beginning of projects. In addition to financial sustainability, the symposium will involve discussion of sustainability of digital assets. Developing a business plan for sustainability will help bridge the gap from noble purpose to business case and help extend the life of the project. Speakers include Liz Bishoff, former Vice President, OCLC Digital Collection Services and Executive Director of Collaborative Digitization Program and the Colorado Digitization Program. Liz has spoken extensively on collaborative digitization projects and consulted with many state- based organizations on various aspects of their collaborative digitization initiatives. She co-authored Business Planning for Cultural Heritage Institutions with Nancy Allen, published in 2004 by the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR). Sponsor: The Ohio Historical Records Advisory Board's (OHRAB) generous sponsorship allows SOA to offer this program at a substantially reduced rate.
