SURROGATES DAY
21st November 2001
Venue: The Essex Record Office, Chelmsford
This course is intended for those working in archives and records management operations and who are considering the advantages and disadvantages of developing surrogacy strategies to resolve space and budgeting issues. It focuses on using modern digital technology and traditional micro-reproduction technology and the decisions and strategies surrounding their use. We are working with Jonathan Rhys-Lewis, an experienced archival preservation consultant, to deliver a programme that aims to be a well-rounded overview of the subject.
The day begins with an introduction to the reasons for adopting surrogacy and the morning is given to options, roles and standards for two main methods: microfilming and digitisation. There will be a final session before lunch on policy and strategy issues. After lunch the emphasis is on practical examples and there will be a tour of the Essex Record Office microfilm unit and case studies about the repository’s surrogacy programmes.
The course fee of £105 includes a course handbook with supporting notes and useful sources for further information. The fee also includes lunch (with vegetarian option, please let the directors know if you have any other special dietary needs) and tea and coffee.
