With the creation of the park, the families were displaced. This session is designed as a panel-led discussion with audience participation. Members of the committee will lead a discussion of what has and can be done to celebrate Archives Week. The controversy aroused by the research will be discussed by an author of the research, a building engineer, and a conservator, to be followed by the observations of a chemist and questions from the audience. Small shops frequently have important collections but no way to keep the research community informed of their holdings.
National databases are expensive to join and complicated to use.
Come and learn how easily the important collections of your small shop can go online. This panel will confront the question of when and how the mission of a repository may conflict with the goal of open access to records. In churches, corporations, political organizations, and other institutions, archivists must balance access against institutional goals and obligations in developing general access policies and in resolving particular access problems. The first speaker in this session will present a report about ongoing research at the Johns Hopkins University Medical Institutions concerning the challenges created by digitizing scientific data, in this case, patient and laboratory data, for archival reference and research. A records manager responsible for biomedical research data and actively concerned with the complex issues addressed by the Hopkins project will present another perspective.
