A reminder...

Archives Week/Month Survey:

If your region, state, locality, or organization participates in Archives
Week or Month, please take a few minutes to respond to this survey.  Just
click on http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=716571977135 to access the
survey.  

Through the survey, we are seeking information on all Archives Week and
Month activities undertaken at all levels and by all kinds of organizations.
These include archival professional associations (national, state,
provincial, regional, local); state historical records advisory boards
(SHRABs); state and provincial archives; and other repositories or
institutions that coordinate or assist in coordinating Archives Week/Month
activities within their geographical areas.  Individuals are welcome to
submit reports for more than one agency or organization.  

Please respond no later than Friday, June 2, 2006.  

An individual is welcome to submit reports for more than one agency or
organization. However, please try to coordinate your responses with others
so that we receive only one response per organization.

George Bain will compile the results and report on them during the DC 2006
RAO Section meeting, scheduled for Friday August 4, 12:15-2:15 pm.

of high interest to the archival community nationwide.  The DC2006 Great
Ideas! InfoExpo will focus on three topical areas:

-- Diversity

-- Archives Week/Month

-- Disaster planning and preparedness

The InfoExpo will run from 8:00 am to 5 pm, Thursday through Saturday,
August 3-5.

The Archives Week/Month InfoExpo is being coordinated by representatives
from the SAA Reference, Access, and Outreach (RAO) Section with input from
regional archival associations and state historical records advisory boards
