Mr. Burgin, In addition to attending the Roundtable for Tribal Archives, you might find it helpful to attend the pre-SAA symposium on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, "Ethnographic Archives, Communities of Origin, and Intangible Cultural Heritage" that will aim to address many of the issues you raise. The site is: http://www.loc.gov/folklife/SAASymposium/symposium.html There is also a reading list that we have put together for the symposium that could assist you, http://www.loc.gov/folklife/SAASymposium/symposiumreadings.html Cheers, Sarah Bradley Leighton ************************************* Sarah Bradley Leighton, MSIS Library of Congress American Folklife Center Telephone: 202/707-1725 E-mail: [log in to unmask] Web site: http://www.loc.gov/folklife/ ************************************* A posting from the Archives & Archivists LISTSERV List sponsored by the Society of American Archivists, www.archivists.org.
