Abstract:
Participants explore strategies for implementing both ICA-ISAD(G) and ICA-ISAAR(CPF) through analysis of existing archival finding aids and authority records. This workshop focuses on application of ICA-ISAD(G) and ICA-ISAAR(CPF) rules and concepts.
Target audience:
Any archivist whose responsibilities include describing records and their creators, or supervising staff who does that work (attendance limited to 30).
Overall purpose and significance of session:
To put the various descriptive traditions and practices in relation to ICA-ISAD(G) and ICA-ISAAR(CPF) and to understand the principles of the development of an integrated information system which can include other components than the description of archives (authority files, indexes, lists, thesaurus, etc.).
Content description:
The workshop will be very interactive. The participants will work within small groups on their own finding aids or authority records or on other examples. The workshop will include questions and discussion.
I wish to extend a warm invitation to all archivists and information professionals to the 16th ICA Congress in Kuala Lumpur from 21- 27 July 2008.
