Education: SGA Workshops and Continuing Education Opportunities
The Society of Georgia Archivists is committed to providing educational opportunities to its members as well as archivists around the region. SGA sponsors an annual workshop in the spring and another in the fall in conjunction with the SGA Annual Meeting. For more information about the work of the Education Committee, please contact education@soga.org.
FALL 2011 Pre-Conference Workshop
Basic Encoded Archival Description
Instructor: Lara Nicosia, Liberal Arts Librarian, Rochester Institute of Technology
Encoded Archival Description is rapidly becoming the standard for creating finding aids. While there are many nuances and styles, many new and veteran archivists need a basic and hands-on EAD introduction. This workshop will define EAD and its component parts, introduce markup language, and allow participants to create a functional EAD finding aid. Participants should bring a flash drive.
SGA offers the workshop at a cost of $75.00 for members, $85.00 for non-members, and $65.00 for students. Lunch is included in the cost as well as morning and afternoon beverage breaks. Because of the hands-on nature of the instruction, space is limited to 20 participants.
Date: Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011
Time: 8:00 am to 4:00 pm
Location: Clayton State University, Morrow, Georgia*
