Hi Trevor,

How are you? I met you several months back at the AAO Board and Chapter Presidents meeting, when I was filling in for Kim Arnold to give the report for TAAG.  I'm very interested in this workshop, but was just wondering how nit-picky the AAO is on having the course pre-requisites (which in this case is ARCH 1005 I think).  I haven't taken any of the Post-Appointment Core Workshops yet, this'll be my first, but I do have a Masters in archives studies from U.ofT. and have close to 3 years work experience, first at the Archives of Ontario and now at the Presbyterian Church Archives.  Just wondering. 

Thanks Trevor.

The purpose of the education program of the Archives Association of Ontario is
to provide formalized training for the membership of the organization and for
others interested in archival duties in Ontario.

The next scheduled Core-Workshop program is:

Date                     Location               Workshop

Jan. 22-23, 2000         Ottawa          ARCH1006: Appraisal 2 (Monetary)


ARCH1006: Archival Appraisal 2 (Monetary) Course Description:

It is important for the archivist to have a working knowledge of the value of
the items in his or her institution. For instance,
without a general grasp of market demand for an item, the archivist is unable to
know whether a donation might merit evaluation for a taxation receipt and if its
value is above or below the limit for in-house appraisal. This knowledge will
also be required in negotiating with those wishing to sell items of interest to
the archive. A knowledge of market values is useful in establishing standard
insurance coverage for the archive.

Please note that this workshop is not intended to qualify an archivist to become
an appraiser of rare manuscripts nor will it provide sufficient knowledge for a
career as a dealer. However, in combination with ARCH1005, this workshop will
make the archivist much better able to appreciate the collection in his or her
care.
