The presenter will be Mary Ann Campbell, Archivist at the Peabody-Essex Museum in Salem. Board members, professional staff, and volunteers responsible for historical records are invited to attend, including all those in municipal and town offices, historical organizations, museums, libraries, archives, colleges, and churches. Interested members of the public are also encouraged to attend. Writing a collections management policy should be the first step in managing an archives program.
Attendance is limited and early registration is recommended.
The Essex National Heritage Area is comprised of the 34 cities and towns of the North Shore and Merrimack Valley that fall within the historic boundaries of Essex County. It was granted federal designation by U.S. Congress in 1996, and has been strongly supported by Senators Edward M. Kennedy and John F. Kerry and Congressmen John F. Tierney and Martin Meehan.
