The Midwest Archives Conference is pleased to announce its upcoming Annual Meeting, "MAC in Bloom," April 27-29, 2006 in Bloomington/Normal, Illinois.   With MAC's new theme-based, content-heavy symposium format debuting this Fall, the Spring meeting will be the one event each year that combines the workshops, tours, sessions and networking events that have built MAC's reputation as a leader among archival professional organizations nationwide – and a real bargain besides! This Spring's Annual Meeting has something for everyone in the fields of archives, special collections librarianship, conservation, public history and museum work. Be sure to come – it’ll be well worth your while!

 

Content highlights include workshops on oral history, preserving scrapbooks, and outreach; a plenary session by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Leon Dash; a tour of the Lincoln Presidential library in nearby Springfield, Illinois; and sessions on small museum development, preserving the history of Midwestern Latinos, the lending of rare research items, and many others!  Of course, this is in addition to the other great tours, gatherings and events that make the MAC Annual Meeting so important.  Up-to-date conference information, committee contacts, an on-line program and a printable registration form is all available at the meeting website: www.midwestarchives.org/illinois.

 

Come and see what MAC veterans have long known: The professional development experience and value provided by a MAC meeting is hard to beat!  Hope to see you in Illinois this Spring for MAC in Bloom!
