Will try to send over morereading suggestions when she has a chance.Brenda Square• ARCHON should be included – eliminates usage of EAD; in use at Amistad.• Will bring brochure for presentationBrenda Banks:• “This looks pretty good...except for the absence of readings from the recent SAA fundamentalseries. which presents the most up to day standards for the archival profession. I used Hunter'sbook when I taught for several years because it was current and fairly simple but even the it wasnot my first choice for preservation. Mary Lynn Ritzenthaler's Preserving Archives andManuscripts, a 2010 publication, is the current standard. Kathleen Roe's Arranging andDescribing Archives and Manuscripts is the most recent publication for A&D. I feel that itwould be a gross error omit readings from these two books.”Georgette Mayo:• Emailed names of readings on:o Community Outreach, Advocacy, and Promotiono Professional, Ethical, and Legal Responsibilitieso Archiving Film, Music, Video, and Arto Disaster PreparednessSquires – voicemail, responded “no comments” via email.Bethel – hasn’t looked yet, will call if she gets a chanceJorgenson – hasn’t looked yet, will send over notes if she gets a chanceKerr- messageBishop – voicemailPitti - voicemailAmy Cooper Cary - voicemailHoward Rosenbaum - voicemail
Further Feedback on Curriculum:Rosenbaum:Not sure what you want from IU. [response] All of IU’s syllabi are online for review. For my presentation,I can talk about our course offerings and see what could be helpful to draw from. [response: specificallywanted more preservation and introduction to archival practices] I can look at our courses right now andsee what would be helpful on that front and send you that information. [response: yes, please]Pendleton:Family histories are becoming more and more important in black archives; the ordering of the EAD/EAC-CPF did seem backwards – this might only be relevant if we have people with less archival background.The whole African American history readings did need to be stepped up a bit.Smith:Call was cut off around 10 to 4. She got a busy signal all of a sudden. But she got minutes and is allcaught up now.What is someone was interested in medical archives?Nothing else to add.Maryland (Oland Squires):Feedback via email:For week 3: Many Thousands Gone: The First Two Centuries of Slavery in North America by Ira Berlin(Harvard U Press, 2000)For week 5: The Making of African America: The Four Great Migrations by Ira Berlin (Viking Press, 2010)John Hope Franklin’s From Slavery to Freedom would be a good overarching text. We also use RunawaySlaves: Rebels on the Plantation as a reference in our own Underground Railroad project.Linke:Mentioned MPLP.An article in American Archivist in the mid 1980s on appraisal. Frank Boles & Julia Marks Young. “Theblack box of appraisal”History: one book from archives perspective is Ar'n't I a Woman?: Female Slaves in the Plantation Southby Deborah G.
