Architectural
records are vital documentation of our built environment and provide insight
into social and economic trends throughout history. The tasks of collecting,
managing, preserving and providing access to these records can be a challenge
to those charged with their care. Speakers at this conference will address the
many aspects of caring for architectural record collections. Participants will
learn about the significance of architectural records; the array of materials
and methods used to create them; collecting policies; access and use
recommendations; preventive preservation measures; reformatting and management
of electronic files; as well as have opportunities to engage in discussions
with fellow participants who are managing similar collections.
This
conference is intended for archivists, librarians, curators, historic
preservation officers, records managers, and others who are responsible for
collecting, preserving, and providing access to architectural, landscape, and
other design records.
The Academy
of Certified Archivists will award Archival Recertification Credits to eligible
Certified Archivists attending this program. For more information, go to www.certifiedarchivists.org.

House Complex Tour:

Martin House Complex on July 16, 2014 at 2:30pm.
The
multi-structure estate (1903-05; 1909) that Frank Lloyd Wright designed for
Darwin D. Martin is a masterpiece of 20th century architecture. The
Martin House is widely considered one of Wright’s finest Prairie
Houses—a signature work from the early years of his celebrated career.
Wright himself referred to the Martin House complex as “the opus”
and kept the site plan pinned to his drawing table for close to fifty years.
Pre-registration

transportation and must arrive at 2pm. Free parking is available.
