2006 Annual Meeting ~
Discovering, Sharing, and Preserving Our Stories
Mark your calendar now for November 1-3, 2006! The 38th Annual Meeting of the Society of Georgia Archivists will take place at Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia.
Greetings from the 2006 Program Committee! We are excited about this year's sessions and hope that many of you will be attending the 2006 SGA Annual Meeting next week at Spelman College. One of the sessions on Thursday offers an unique opportunity to speak with Dennis Meissner, a co-author of the much-discussed American Archivist article "More Product Less Process: Revamping Traditional Archival Processing." Mr. Meissner will be giving a short presentation followed by an extended discussion period with the audience. In preparation for this session you may want to read/reread
his article. It was printed in the Fall/Winter 2005 issue of American Archivist (volume 68, number 2) and is posted online as a pdf file at
http://ahc.uwyo.edu/documents/faculty/greene/papers/Greene-Meissner.pdf. Copies will not be available at the annual meeting.
