Colleagues,

The AABC is pleased to bring you the first session of our revamped webinar
education series!

Lisa Snider, the AABC MemoryBC Coordinator, will be presenting the two hour
workshop *Introduction to MemoryBC* using the Zoom webinar platform.

*Date:* April 30, 2020
*Time:* 10am - 12:00pm PST
*Cost:* AABC Members are FREE (Institutional Members may register up to 3
staff members); non-members: $15.00 (online payment at time of
registration, VISA or MasterCard only)

*Workshop overview: *This presentation will go over all the basics: have
you used MemoryBC before and want a refresher? Or are you brand new to it
and want to learn more? Use AtoM and need a refresher? The first hour of
the workshop will be focused on the search, categories, clip board and use
of MemoryBC by archivists and researchers. Then the second hour will show
you how to log in, add an authority record and add a draft of an archival
description. We will also discuss digital objects, bulk uploads,
taxonomies, etc., and the MemoryBC Coordinator will answer all your
questions about using MemoryBC (and AtoM).

*MemoryBC* is the provincial database supported by the Archives Association
of British Columbia. AABC Membership provides FREE use of MemoryBC
https://www.memorybc.ca/.

Institutional Members may post archival descriptions, authority records and
information about their archives in MemoryBC for the public to use. Much of
the information put into MemoryBC is transferred to ArchivesCanada.ca, the
national archives portal. MemoryBC uses AtoM (Access to Memory), a
web-based software application for standards-based archival description,
authority records and institutional profiles in a multilingual,
multi-repository environment. It is designed to support descriptions based
on the Canadian Rules for Archival Description (RAD) and authority records
based on the ICA’s International Standard Archival Authority Record for
Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families (ISAAR). MemoryBC allows you to
describe your archival holdings in context, so you will link your
description to a creator and your archival institution, resulting in a
complete account of what the records are, who created them and what
institution holds them.


Best regards,
