Introductory Archive Workshop
for Religious Communities
Ronkonkoma, New York, June 2014
The Catholic Library Association (CLA) is pleased to announce the
sixth Introductory Archive Workshop for Religious Communities to be held at the
Cenacle Retreat House, Ronkonkoma, NY from June 15-20, 2014. The 5-day
intensive program is directed toward individuals who are interested in learning
about archival theory and practice or who wish to update their archival
training.
Unlike other archival workshops, the sessions will focus on
the unique types of records found in the archives of men’s and women’s
religious communities. These records document not only the communities
themselves, but also the evolution of Catholicism in the United States, and its
impact on educational, social and charitable institutions that shaped the
nation’s history.
The program, directed by professional religious archivists,
will include lectures, tours, and opportunities for sharing experiences.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE MAY 1, 2014.
