Agenda for upcoming meeting at SAA 2010

The Archivists' Toolkit Roundtable of the Society of American Archivists will hold its annual meeting on Wednesday, Aug 11th, 1-3pm, at the SAA Annual Conference in Washington, D.C.

Established in February 2009, the Archivists’ Toolkit Roundtable (ATRT) provides a forum for archivists from all types of repositories to identify and discuss key issues relevant to the Archivists' Toolkit (AT) software tool. The ArchivesSpace planning project is under way, with the expectation that through the collaborative efforts of AT and Archon’s development teams, a new collection management tool will emerge. We invite a discussion of the AT Roundtable’s role in facilitating collaboration between AT and Archon users and the ArchivesSpace team. 

An update on the status of ArchivesSpace will be given by the planning team, who will also be present for Q&A. Presentations and announcements will extend the inaugural meeting’s theme of community development and resource sharing. The event will offer a meeting space where we can share and benefit from the knowledge and expertise of archivists, which will facilitate the development of an archival management tool whose features and functions best serve the user community.
