Arch202: Archival Appraisal (Monetary)
January 26th - 27th, 2008
All individuals working with heritage institutions should have a working
knowledge of the value of the various items in their collections. This
helps when determining standard insurance coverage for the Archives. As
well, it is beneficial to know monetary value when trying to determine if a
particular donation might warrant evaluation for a taxation project receipt
or when negotiation a suitable price with those who might be interested in
selling a collection or special item to the Archives. In combination with
the coverage of Evidential and Informational Appraisal in Arch101, this
workshop will help an archivist to better appreciate the collection in his
or her care.
Instructor: Carl Spadoni

Arch301: Rules for Archival Description - Graphic Materials
March 1st - 2nd, 2008
Textual records often comprise a portion of the holdings in archives.
Archives needs to make their graphic materials just as accessible to users
as textual materials, if not more so. This course covers the application of
RAD to the description of photographs, artwork, elevations, maps and plans.
Students will have an opportunity to practice the application of specific
rules, and discuss the benefits of describing at item and aggregate levels.
