When I was formally hired as an assistant archivist (LTA I) in 1972, the University then sent me to the Ohio Historical Institute in Columbus in June/July 1973. This was an intensive two-week training session for beginning archivists (Library-Archives Institute) which had lectures by many profession leaders in areas of accessioning, processing, conservation, oral history, acquisitions, reference work, management, supplies and equipment, etc. with weekend field trips to Western Reserve Historical Society in Cleveland, and local visits to Ohio State University Archives. There were some other institutes offered then but for us in the Midwest, this was the one! Additional training opportunities were afforded by workshops offered at regional meetings like Midwest Archives Conference or sessions at the Society of American Archivists' annual meeting.

Assuming this is not a topic of general interest, I am happy to have you contact me off-line. Thanks in advance. This list has aided me in the past, and I have high hopes for the present.
