The Society of Ohio Archivists’ 2019 Educational Programming Committee is busy planning the May meeting, but we need your help! We are in the process of developing our pre-conference workshop, but we would like to find out what topics are of interest to those who might attend.

2017 saw the return of the SOA pre-conference workshop with a collaboration with the Ohio Preservation Council, hosted by the Ohio History Connection. Simple Supports for Dynamic Exhibits, led by Miriam Nelson & Catarina Figueirinhas,  was a 2-hour hands-on workshop, full at 20 attendees. In 2018, Finding Aids for the Future, led by Morag Boyd and Cate Putirskis, presented in partnership with ALAO SCAig and hosted by Ohio History Connection, was full at 40 attendees.

This year, our pre-conference workshop will be held on Thursday, May 16, 2019. In order to find out what archivists and other allied professionals would like in a pre-conference workshop, we are sending out a two-part survey. The first part, which is included in this email, will help us narrow down the topics. The second part, to be sent out early January, will help us determine logistical details based on the selected topic(s).

Part 1 of the survey is due December 21, 2018. Fill out the survey HERE: https://goo.gl/forms/ZzqEO3GSlsRHFEZh1

Thanks in advance for your help!
