     FIELD RECORDS AT THE MILLENNIUM:
     MANAGING ANTHROPOLOGICAL PAPERS

     May 3-5, 1999 in Phoenix, Arizona at the Heard Museum

     Presented by the University of Nevada, Reno's Division of
     Continuing Education, Heritage Resources Management Program
     www.dce.unr.edu/hrm Organized by the National Park Service Museum
     Management Program, and sponsored by the National Park Service's
     Cultural Resources Training Initiative

     COURSE CONTENT
     At the end of the 20th century, a single misstep when capturing
     information in the field and then providing public access can raise

     a firestorm of legal, ethical, and cultural protests worldwide.
     This course focuses on how to create, preserve and responsibly
     manage anthropological field records for access.

     Participants will learn how to resolve difficulties and balance the

     rights and concerns of:
     * creators of the materials
     * owners and donors of the collections
     * individuals who are documented or whose cultures are documented
     in the materials
     * educators, researchers and scholars

     PROGRAM FEATURES AND BENEFITS

     The course focuses on how to:
     * obtain informed consent for field records
     * identify and manage sensitive information
     * identify information protected by intellectual property rights
     legislation
     * manage personal papers and project records
     * create permanent and durable records (and reformat them) in all
     formats (electronic to photographic)
     * manage records during and after their active lifetime
     * obtain permissions (model and interview releases) and determine
     ownership for project records
     * select an appropriate repository for field records
     * identify audiences for anthropological records
     * share records with affiliated groups

     The course will also bring participants up to date on major new and

     revised legislation that has stimulated additional concerns
     regarding access policies, especially for those holding federal and

     state collections.

     WHO SHOULD ATTEND
     The program is designed for anthropologists (archeologists,
     ethnographers and linguists), archivists, collections managers,
     curators, historians, historic preservation officers, librarians,
     tribal archivists, tribal preservation officers and other cultural
     resource management professionals who must determine how and when
     to make field records available to the public.

     TUITION
     The fee for the three-day course is $250, which includes
     instruction, course materials, refreshment breaks and lunch each
     day.  Participants are responsible for all travel, personal
     transportation, lodging and additional meal expenses.  As space is
     limited, early registration is encouraged.
