[Previous Posting] [Next Posting] STHC Roundtable Meeting August 29, 2007
Hello, Colleagues, The Annual Meeting of the Science, Technology and Health Care Roundtable is Wednesday, July 29, from 6 pm - 8 pm at the Fairmont Chicago. This year the Society of American Archivists has scheduled Roundtable meetings on Wednesday. The SAA meeting will begin Thursday morning with the 8 a.m. Plenary Session. We hope many of you will be at the Roundtable Meeting. In addition to the Business meeting, we will brainstorm session proposals for SAA's 2008 meeting in San Francisco and hear about new initiatives, publications and projects during the "Roundtable Round Robin." STHC's tradition of presenting formal program as part of the Roundtable meeting continues with a panel discussion on the use and treatment of artifacts in collections, emphasizing STHC repositories. Check the registration at a glance schedule to find out the room location. The Roundtable agenda is attached. Please contact Paul or me with questions about the Roundtable meeting. We look forward to seeing you in Chicago on July 29 and to your participation!

Election of new STHC Co-Chair. Archival Elements Newsletter: Ewa Basinska. STHC listserv: Russell Johnson. STHC website: Rose Roberto. Warnow-Blewett Award: Jean Deken. Program: “Caring for Artifacts in Archival Collections” Many repositories have a variety of artifacts such as a collection of specimens used by a professor’s research and items used, collected, or donated to famous people. The presence of artifacts raises questions: Why are they part of specific collections? How can they be used as a means of documentation? How do they fit into the broader picture of archives? Finally, what are the best institutional policies and practices to put in place so that archivists can care for them and avoid hazardous situations?
