Description

Project Goals â¿¿ The University of Arizona School of Information and the Western Archeological and Conservation Center (WACC) archives staff will collaborate to provide an archives-focused educational work experience opportunity for archives, library, and digital information students. The purpose is to complement classroom instruction with hands-on work activities in a variety of areas that describe, preserve, and make cultural and natural resource information in these records more available. The skills gained through this project will enhance student employability in several diverse fields. B. Project Objectives â¿¿ The objectives for this project include: 1. Catalog resource management records to describe their contents and facilitate retrieval of desired information. 2. Reunite project records that have been inadvertently separated to ensure that documentation is complete. 3. Improve preservation of archival records by reboxing and labeling. 4. Prepare and disseminate finding aids to collections to promote access. 5. Digitize records to expand use opportunities.
