SUMMARY:Acquisition\, Appraisal and Accessioning (Core)
DESCRIPTION:General description: \nParticipants will be guided through the three archival functions of acquisition\, appraisal and accessioning. The acquisition process involves choosing appropriate materials to be housed at the archives and accepting them into custody. Accessioning is the official legal acceptance of those records. Once they have been accepted\, they can be processed in the institution and only the most valuable records need to be kept– this is appraisal. This workshop will teach participants how to evaluate material for inclusion in archival collections and the practical steps required for acceptance of material. Topics covered will include requirements of policy and practice as well as options for a variety of archival scenarios. \nThis workshop is part of the CNSA Archival Certificate Program. \nLearning Method:\nLearning is done through a combination of lecture\, personal reading\, small group discussion\, and practical exercises over a 2-day period in an informal\, friendly atmosphere. \nPrior knowledge required:\nIntroduction to Archives workshop or experience working with archival records. \nRegistration:\nRegistration is open to CNSA members in good standing\, \nA travel subsidy is available to CNSA members. Click here for Expense Claim Form for travel subsidy. \nContact our Archives Advisor for upcoming dates. \nPre-workshop Reading:\nArchives Association of British Columbia\, A Manual for Small Archives\, Chapter 3\, https://aabc.ca/media/6069/manualforsmallarchives.pdf.

SUMMARY:Council of Archives New Brunswick and Council of Nova Scotia Archives Copyright Workshop
DESCRIPTION:CANB and CNSA are pleased to sponsor a two-day workshop on copyright issues for archival institutions. \nThe first day will cover how the Canadian copyright law works (with particular attention to its application in the digital environment) by looking at the key provisions of the Copyright Act (including the 2012 amendments) and relevant case law. Topics to be covered include: what is (and isn’t) protected by copyright\, categories of copyright-protected matter\, ownership and duration of copyright\, economic rights of copyright owners\, moral rights of authors\, selected users’ rights (e.g.\, fair dealing and exceptions for libraries\, archives and museums)\, international copyright\, and how to analyze a copyright problem. \nThe second day will give participants an opportunity to apply what they have learned as they discuss six case studies that address copyright issues of interest to archivists\, including (but not limited to) photographs\, digitizing holdings\, fair dealing\, and orphan works. \nSpace is limited and only available to CNSA and CANB members. Please fill out the registration form or call Raegan to reserve your place. Travel reimbursements\, including lodging\, are available for participants. \nThis workshop is brought to you in part by the financial support of the Government of Canada through Library and Archives Canada and the Documentary Heritage Communities Program. \nPresenter biography\nJean Dryden’s expertise in copyright has been developed over many years of experience as an archivist. She played a lead role in successful lobbying for exceptions for libraries\, archives and museums during the discussions leading to the 1997 amendments to the Copyright Act. Her doctoral dissertation investigated the copyright practices of Canadian archives in making their holdings available online. In 2015\, she completed a Master of Laws degree\, specializing in Intellectual Property\, from Osgoode Hall Law School at York University. Jean is the author of Demystifying Copyright: A Researcher’s Guide to Copyright in Canadian Libraries and Archives (2nd ed.\, 2014). She teaches copyright courses for the School of Continuing Studies at the University of Toronto and for the Society of American Archivists. She represents the International Council on Archives at the World Intellectual Property Organization’s Copyright Committee in Geneva.

SUMMARY:Film Preservation and Access Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Heather Harkins \n \n  \nLocation: Akins Room\, Nova Scotia Archives\, 6016 University Ave. Halifax \nThis year\, we are really excited to be able to offer a special workshop here in Halifax right before the conference! So you can get TWO professional development activities out of one trip!\nThe day will be broken into two workshops\, and you can attend the morning workshop\, the afternoon workshop\, or both! Registration is only $40 for one workshop\, or $75 for both. Light refreshments will be provided\, but lunch will be on your own. For restaurant ideas\, click here. \n  \nCare and Feeding of Moving Images \nMay 28\, 9am-12pm \nThis workshop introduces basic preservation techniques for motion picture material. We will discuss (and handle) film prints\, video tapes\, digital files\, and some recorded sound formats\, while covering best practices for storage\, repair\, and public access. Join us to learn tips and tricks for identifying mystery material\, choosing which details to catalogue\, developing disaster planning and response strategies\, setting preservation priorities and supervising restoration work. We will also explore the rising significance of home movies in regional archives\, and the strategies used by some institutions to fund their preservation efforts. \n  \nNo Theatre? No Budget? No Problem! Engage your Community with Moving Images \nMay 28\, 1:30pm-4:30pm \nCome discover low-cost creative strategies to share motion pictures with your community. Are visiting researchers coming to your archive? Are local groups planning site-specific exhibitions that would be enhanced by your collection material? Are people visiting your web page? Use movies to enhance their experiences\, and do it without exhausting your budget or your patience.   \nTo Register: Click Here \nAbout the Presenter: \nHeather Harkins\, a native Nova Scotian\, completed her graduate studies in film and moving image conservation at the George Eastman House museum in Rochester\, NY. She has done rigorous work with moving image materials of all kinds- everything from glass lantern slides to nitrate film prints to cracked VHS tapes to high definition digital files. Heather has developed and taught an Introduction to Film Preservation workshop\, delivering it in Banff\, Los Angeles\, and Halifax. The workshop was intended to teach moving image archiving principles and easily implemented techniques to non-profit organizations with low (or no) budget to care for their collections. \nIn the last year of her graduate studies\, Heather was hired by the university library’s Department of Rare Books and Special Collections to work on a digital humanities project that transcribed and annotated personal correspondence from the nineteenth century for use in an online edition of the papers. She attended the Digital Humanities Summer Institute in Victoria BC to deliver a colloquium presentation about her experiences entitled “Digital Humanities for Absolute Beginners”.  Heather strongly believes that you don’t have to be an all-knowing technical genius to use computing technologies in your archival work. All kinds of collection material can be used in digital humanities projects that will increase access and funding opportunities\, and she loves talking about this growing field of scholarship! \nImage credits: \nJISC.
