Not dead yet
I'm just restin'! Or possibly pinin' for the fjords.
Anyway, I am going to try to be more conscientious about updating this thing, seeing as how I set it up and everything. For now, a brief look at what's coming up on the SAM Calendar for September:
Peter Hirtle on Copyright, Wednesday, September 13, 7:00 PM, Non-Print Media Room H
If you're in 605, you're going to this anyway. If you're NOT in 605, it's still worth checking out, as you almost certainly will have to deal with copyright issues at one point or another during your archival career. Also, Peter Hirtle is a former president of SAA, so you can say to your friends and family, "I got to hear a former president of SAA speak!" (You may be greeted with blank stares upon making this pronouncement. This is perfectly natural.)
First Student Archivist Happy Hour, Wednesday, September 13, 8:30 PM, R.J. Bentley's
It's back, and it doesn't require a car! Join your fellow archivists and archivists-in-training at what is arguably the least sketchy (such as it is) bar in College Park, R.J. Bentley's, for good times, good beer (or whatever it is you drink) and an escape from the rigors of classes (if only for the evening). We'll try to get a table in the front-ish area for ease of finding us.
SAM Meeting, Wednesday, September 20, 4:30 PM, CLIS Lounge
It's taken a while to get around to it, but we do have meetings in this here club! Come hear about our plans for this year, or suggest some of your own. Send things you want to bring up to myself or Courtney.
Americana III, Tuesday, September 26, 6:30 PM, McKeldin Special Events (6125)
Now that we FINALLY have a room for this I feel comfortable advertising it. Americana is a celebration of American Archival Culture, and one of our "marquee" events for the year. This year, SAM brings you "Art In Archives," in which our three presenters will examine how the American Archives and Art (both visual and audio) work together-- or have trouble doing so. As this is a fundraiser for SAM, there will be a small fee to enter, but for that you get free food, live entertainment before the presentations, and three scintillating speakers. Look back here later for a link to the Americana site proper.
That's all I got for now, folks-- keep checking back! I promise to actually update....
