The Canadian Council of Archives invites you to attend the Archives and You!, conference which will be held at the Regina Inn Hotel in Regina, Saskatchewan, May 24 and 25, 2008.
If you have ever used the wealth of material available in Canada's archives or if you are interested in doing so, this conference is for you! Know any new recruits to archival research? Help us issue an order: Basic Training starts May 24 in Regina. “Archives and You! Everything you wanted to know about archives… but were afraid to ask” is Canada’s only national conference for users of archives, a compulsory archival boot camp—without the push-ups—for genealogists, researchers, teachers, librarians, historians, students, curators, volunteers, and anyone with interest in Canada’s documentary heritage.
From first-rate plenary sessions, to interactive roundtables and workshops, exhibits and tours of local archives, “Archives and You!” is designed to sharpen archival users’ tool-set and strengthen their relationship with the archival community. Submit to history: enlist the masses!
Day One of the conference will consist of concurrent and plenary sessions, "ask the expert" roundtable discussions, and a luncheon.
One of the concurrent sessions on Day One will be on "Researching Your Russian Doukhobor Roots" with a presentation by Doukhobor writer, historian and genealogist Jonathan J. Kalmakoff. It will be held at 2:15 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. at the Regina Inn Hotel.
The purpose of the Doukhobor session is to provide an overview of resources available to Doukhobor genealogists. If Doukhobor genealogy faces special challenges, it also enjoys certain advantages. Nonetheless, the field is new and many of the resources and methodology available to other branches of genealogy are still under development.
Day Two is reserved for site visits to archives in Regina and the surrounding areas, including: the Saskatchewan Archive Board, City of Regina Archives, RCMP Heritage Museum, University of Regina, followed by an afternoon reception hosted by Athol Murray College of Notre Dame at Wilcox, Saskatchewan.
For more information on the 2008 Archives & You conference, including the program, registration, accomodations, exhibitors, partners and more, visit the Canadian Council of Archives website at: http://www.archivesconference.ca/accommodation_e.asp.
Best wishes.
