the vital documentation of our built environment and provide insight into
social and economic trends throughout history. However, collecting, managing,
preserving, and providing access to these records can often feel like a
monumental task for those charged with their care. Speakers at this symposium
will address the challenges involved in managing architectural records
collections, on both theoretical and practical levels, through case studies,
lectures, and demonstrations. Participants will learn about the significance
of architectural records; the array of materials and methods used to create
them, from the earliest processes to those in use today; collecting policies;
appraisal; intellectual control; preventive and remedial preservation measures;
innovations in conservation treatment; methods of access; management of
electronic files; as well as have opportunities to engage in discussions with
fellow participants who are managing similar collections. This symposium is
intended for archivists, librarians, curators, historic preservation officers,
