Dear Colleagues,
The Archivists' Toolkit Roundtable of the
Society of American Archivists will hold its annual meeting on Wednesday, Aug
11th, 1-3pm, at the SAA Annual Conference in Washington, D.C.
Established in February 2009, the
Archivists’ Toolkit Roundtable (ATRT) provides a forum for archivists
from all types of repositories to identify and discuss key issues relevant to
the Archivists' Toolkit (AT) software tool. The ArchivesSpace planning project
is under way, with the expectation that through the collaborative efforts of AT
and Archon’s development teams, a new collection management tool will
emerge. We invite a discussion of the AT Roundtable’s role in
facilitating collaboration between AT and Archon users and the ArchivesSpace
team.
An update on the status of ArchivesSpace will
be given by the planning team, who will also be present for Q&A.
Presentations and announcements will extend the inaugural meeting’s theme
of community development and resource sharing. The event will offer a meeting
space where we can share and benefit from the knowledge and expertise of
archivists, which will facilitate the development of an archival management
tool whose features and functions best serve the user community.
