CONFIDENTIAL RECORDS: PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE
Webinar Sponsored by the Chicago Area Religious Archivists (CARA)
Thursday, November 10, 2022
2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Central Time
Archival confidential records has been problematic for leadership and archivists. What should be kept, how should they be managed, and what can be deaccessioned? Our three panelists offer different perspectives on the topic as each comes from a diverse community. The goal of the panel is not to provide listings on what to keep but rather looking at principles that should be applied to practice.
Sufficient time will be allotted for questions and answers. Join CARA’s initial national event to inform interested parties how to deal with these demanding issues.
