[Kjgkeith at aol.com]

The New England Landscape Design and History Association (NELDHA) will host 
 a workshop on "Media Management: To Digitize or Not to Digitize".  Topics  
to be covered will include saving, storing and organizing  documents, 
photos, slides, plans, drawings, portfolios, computer files,  CDs, and DVDs.  * 
This workshop will be of interest to historical societies  that have recently 
posted inquiries about digitizing their archives on  this listserv. 
 
Cynthia Brennan, Assistant  Director of the Cambridge Historical Society, 
will lead us  through current theories and techniques on how best to preserve 
our work now in  different media formats. Her expertise comes from studies 
at Simmons College's  Graduate School of Library and Information Science and 
digitizing collections at  both the American Antiquarian Society and the 
Cambridge Historical Society. 
 
 
The workshop takes place on Thursday, February 17, from 3:30-5 p.m. at the  
Boston Architectural College, 320 Newbury St. (corner Hereford St.) 1st  
floor in the Fishbowl.  Free to NELDHA members, $5 donation suggested  for 
non-members.
