[MassHistPres] Historic Architectural Plans Workshop

[Steinitz, Michael @ SEC]

The Massachusetts Archives will be offering an Architectural Plans
workshop on Tuesday, February 8, 2011 at 9:00 AM.  The workshop will
cover the depth and breadth of the Archives collection of over 60,000
architectural plans. Archives staff will discuss the types of plans
researchers are likely to find in the Archives, the kinds of information
available from the plans, as well as why the Archives has these plans.
Archives staff will also cover all aspects of requesting to view the
records and having them sent out for reproduction. A variety of plans
will be pulled from the vault and looked at during the workshop.
Pre-registration is required.  The workshop is limited to 10 people. If
the workshop fills up quickly, it will be offered again.  Please feel
free to email or call Autumn Haag, Reference Archivist, with any
questions, or if you would like to reserve a space in the workshop.
