The Great Ideas! InfoExpo at DC2006 is designed to provide an opportunity
for peer-to-peer information sharing among archivists, repositories,
archival associations, and other organizations about programs and projects
of high interest to the archival community nationwide. The DC2006 Great
Ideas! InfoExpo will focus on three topical areas:
-- Diversity
-- Archives Week/Month
-- Disaster planning and preparedness
The InfoExpo will run from 8:00 am to 5 pm, Thursday through Saturday,
August 3-5.
The Archives Week/Month InfoExpo is being coordinated by representatives
from the SAA Reference, Access, and Outreach (RAO) Section with input from
regional archival associations and state historical records advisory boards
(SHRABs) having active Archives Week/Month programs. They welcome
contributions from any organization that would like to display posters,
photographs, promotional items, or other items from their recent Archives
Week or Month activities.
