2015-07-15 Meeting notes ADWG
Date
Attendees
Goals
- HOUSEKEEPING
- Overview of charter and goals
- Meeting time - as semesters change so do reference schedules, and work schedules more generally (kids in camp, etc) so it might be time to reevaluate our meeting time
- 2015-2016 Activities
- Round-robin campus repository visits - Jennifer Hecker suggested archival repositories on campus might take turns hosting brown bag lunches. We might discuss as a group how we could incorporate this into ADWG semester scheduling OR whether folks prefer for this to be a separate event so that there are two distinct opportunities for archives folks to get together each month
- Archives Lab: We could designate every other meeting as a lab day for exploring tools - inspired by the Islandora User group on campus that currently hosts open lab on Fridays from 2-4. We could do something like this to look at tools/scripts for migration and data clean-up relevant to archives
- Possible campus archives-outreach event: Could be a walk up archives clinic for students and faculty, could be an archives scavenger hunt (gamifying the archives), could be a combined exhibit highlighting items from each repository around a particular, timely theme, could be an ADWG sponsored event during Archives Week in October, lots of possibilities (Relatedly, ACT will soon begin planning the 2016 Austin Archives Bazaar for next October.)
- Fall speaker line-up - we've got several months of speaker slots to fill coming up, here's few off the top of my head:
- UT Faculty It might be great to put together a faculty panel from different departments that currently use or are interested in using primary resources in their courses
- Charlotte Nunes - CLIR Fellow at Southwestern in Georgetown, Texas
- using archival material for undergraduate research
- Ann Sedivich - Queering the archive, English/Rhetoric
- Tanya Clement - making archival material available for digital humanities work
- Charlotte Nunes - CLIR Fellow at Southwestern in Georgetown, Texas
- Creators of tools that you are interested in using to clean-up archival data
- Adam Rabinowitz & Jennifer Hecker talking about crowdsourcing archival metadata
- Peter Chan - Digital Archivist at Stanford, he could provide demo of and updates on the e-pADD project
- Xeac project
- UT Faculty It might be great to put together a faculty panel from different departments that currently use or are interested in using primary resources in their courses
- ROUND-ROBIN UPDATES
