Archival Appraisal Webinar – April 26, 2018 from 1:00pm to 2:30pm ET
*Session offerte en anglais seulement*
Archival appraisal is the foundation for building collections of long-term historical value. Careful selection of material for permanent retention ensures that institutional resources support only those holdings that meet acquisition criteria and contribute to the documentary heritage. Decisions leading to what is kept have immense consequences for how histories are written, and lie at the heart of archival professional practice.
The Canadian Council of Archives webinar on Archival Appraisal will provide an introduction to appraisal strategies and the elements of an archival appraisal report. As archivists, our decisions are informed by the principles and tools of current practice. The archival appraisal report not only records what informed the selection process, but also leaves an essential trace of what was eliminated so that future generations of researchers can judge those decisions.

Preserve and Protect: Archives Security Webinar – April 25, 2018 from 1:00pm to 2:30pm ET
*Session offerte en anglais seulement*
Has a researcher ever walked out of your institution with a document in their pocket?
What measures can you take to protect your records with increasingly limited human and financial resources?
Most archives and special collections libraries are experiencing operational challenges, and as a result the physical security of collections against theft or vandalism can become a troublesome concern. Security is a fundamental, integral component of archival management that is in part tied to appraisal, arrangement and description, reference and preservation. Protection of records include: deterrents to theft; identification of missing items; environmental control; protection from fire, flood and other disasters; safe exhibition and loan procedures; and insurance for valuable items.
The Canadian Council of Archives webinar on Archival Security will provide an introduction to risk assessment, policies and procedures to minimize risks and prevent loss of records, security training for staff, security systems and equipment and crisis management.
