Archivists working with collections of materials related to moving images are faced with a dizzying array of materials-paper, photographs, textiles, plastics, and objects of metal, wood, etc.-all of which they are responsible for preserving. This workshop, to be held in the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, will inform attendees on how to house papers, still images, objects, and costumes, how to determine which items require conservation treatment, and how to plan preservation and conservation projects. This one-day workshop will include presentations by conservators and UT-Information School faculty on how to select items for treatment, how to work with and find a conservator, understanding and identifying inherent vices in materials, and making housings and boxes. Highlights will include a behind-the-scenes tour of the HRC’s Conservation Labs and examples of the types of materials discussed will be on view. Pre-registration is required with a separate registration fee.

The Conference Mentoring program brings together first-time conference attendees with established AMIA members. Mentees are matched with mentors prior to the mixer. The mixer is an opportunity for colleagues to meet, exchange ideas, and provide support and guidance to those who are attending an AMIA conference for the first time. Because an attempt is made to match mentors and mentees according to their interests, those participating in the program must sign up prior to the conference. Pre-registration is required.
