Managing Archival Collections (HA 488U)
January 7 - April 14, 2013; distance course offering
Instructor: Jennifer Douglas
Many museums hold archival materials including documents and photographs
that require specialized care and management. This course focuses on
archives as an important component of museum collections and develops your
understanding of ways in which they should be organized, managed,
preserved and shared. While there is common ground between the management
of artifacts and the management of archives, recognizing the distinctions
is important to caring effectively for documentary materials and
increasing their role in the museum environment.
Regardless of the kind of institution you work in, this course strengthens
your understanding of
. the nature of archival materials
. theories, principles, and practices governing archival management
. legal, administrative, and professional frameworks
. appraisal, acquisition, and accessioning of archives
. archival arrangement and description, including the application of
archival descriptive standards
. physical processing and storage
. the importance of preventive conservation
. reference services and access issues
. using archives to enhance exhibits, educational offerings, and outreach
initiatives
. the role of archives in culture and heritage

About the Instructor:
Jennifer Douglas will complete her doctoral studies in December 2012 in
the Faculty of Information at the University of Toronto. Her dissertation
interrogates traditional ideas about how archives accumulate and how
foundational archival principles apply to them through the study of
several Canadian and American writers' archives. Prior to her doctoral
work, Jennifer completed a Master of Archival Studies degree at UBC.
Jennifer has published articles on the archival principle of provenance,
on the archives of different writers, including L.M. Montgomery, Alice
Munro, Marian Engel and Douglas Coupland (in press), and on the
15th-century letters of the Paston family.
