Event: Describing Photographs in the Online Environment

This is from the Archivist's Daybook:

August 15 -- “Describing Photographs in the Online Environment” will be offered by the SAA in New Orleans, LA. Get an in-depth review of the major emerging standards for the online description of physical photographs, with an emphasis on data structure standards such as the Dublin Core and VRA 3.0; content standards such as the new CCO (Cataloging Cultural Objects), DACS, Graphic Materials; and data value standards such as the Art and Architecture Thesaurus and the Thesaurus for Graphic Materials. Collection-level description, item-level description, and traditional finding aids are discussed in detail. Program runs from 9am-5pm. To register and for more information contact Solveig DeSutter, or Jodie Stauffer in the SAA Professional Education Department, at: Email: education@archivists.org; Tel: 312-922-0140; or see Website: http://www.archivists.org/prof-education/workshop-detail.asp?id=1362

Update (7/21): Oh, dear...Someone has pointed out that the actual web site for the workshop notes that it is "closed." Obviously this is a popular topic. It is suggested that those interested contact Solveig DeSutter at SAA to see if they will run the workshop again.

Jill,

This workshop is now listed as closed on the SAA website.

Martha is an amazing instructor who teaches other workshops throughout the year. Those interested should contact Solveig DeSutter at SAA to see if there is enough interest, they could run it again.
