I am a bit late in getting started, but I am trying to get Basics of Archives classes scheduled for October. We are a bit thin in our fall teaching roster. Both Scott Sackett and I will be on leave in October. I’ve spoken with a couple of people so far, but I would like to know when folks would be available to conduct a BACE class and what days you would absolutely be unavailable. Ideally, I’d like to schedule four, but three is a more realistic number; one in Seattle, one in south (we’ve never done one in Vancouver) and one north – Everett or Bellingham. Participation has been so poor in Spokane/Cheney that I don’t feel it’s worth going through the motions of scheduling, then cancelling. Any suggestions for class locations or possible recruits for instructions are welcomed.

I am also appealing to those involved in Archives Month planning to consider joining our merry band of instructors. Training involves sitting through a presentation once. WSHRAB does not pay instructors for their time, but we can reimburse for travel expenses. We currently have a disproportionate number of government archivists and I would love to add some manuscript archivists. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Hi All,
I've signed up to co-teach one of the Basics of Archives classes--this
session is on October 19--but I don't know how many people have signed
up. I'd like to advertise it to some of the labor people who have
expressed interest in getting to know the basics for their
organizations but I don't want to promote it until I know there is
space. Also: If there is space, who's the contact person for
enrollment?

Thanks very much for helping me negotiate new territory,
Conor
