SAA, the University of Virginia Institute for Advanced Technology in
the Humanities (IATH), and the Simmons College Graduate School of
Library and Information Science have joined forces under an Institute
for Museum and Library Services grant ("Building a National Archival
Authorities Infrastructure") to provide training on Encoded Archival
Context - Corporate Bodies, Persons, and Families.
Under the grant, SAA will offer seven regional professional training
workshops on the use and implementation of EAC-CPF. Simmons College
will offer 20 competitively awarded scholarships to each of the seven
regional workshops, for a total of 140 scholarships to be awarded.
Katherine Wisser (assistant professor and co-director of the
Archives/History Dual Degree Program at Simmons and co-chair of SAA's
Technical Subcommittee on EAC-CPF) will administer the scholarship
program and teach the seven regional workshops.
Workshops are scheduled to begin on March 23, 2012, in Austin, Texas,
with the last of the seven workshops to be completed by the summer of
2013. Learn more about this project here
