please excuse cross-postings

Dear Colleagues,

Thanks to the generous funding by Library and Archives Canada, Documentary
Heritage Communities Program (DHCP), the AABC will be hosting 2 workshops
this month on the topic of "Managing Archives". Throughout the day we will
review and discuss topics including basic archival principles, appraisal,
accessioning, deaccessioning, processing records and preventative
conservation. Workshop #2 (Terrace, BC) is an expanded 2 day workshop on
these themes and will also cover the topics of reference and copyright.

These workshops are absolutely FREE to our members and those in our
extended heritage community. I apologize for the short notice but there a
few spaces left in each workshop so please RSVP to me by Friday, September
