Peter Gunther, Archives Specialist, would like to announce that he received his Society of American Archivists Digital Archives Specialist (DAS) certification earlier this month. Here is a link about the DAS program: http://www2.archivists.org/prof-education/das
Marcia Stein, Archivist, would like share exciting news about the publication of a book that has been four years in the making:
The Robert M. Myers Archives proudly announces the publication of Communities of the Word: Stories of the Chicago Province, 1895-2012, which it sponsored and for which it supplied research assistance. The Society arrived in North America and established the Techny community north of Chicago in 1899. From there the Society grew to include communities throughout the United States, Canada and the Caribbean. Their histories make up the compiled stories of Communities of the Word, written by the men who lived, learned, and worked in their communities. Like Charles Dickens’ serialized novels, a new chapter will appear every month. Unlike the Dickens serializations, the medium is electronic. A new installment will appear each month on the Chicago Province website, under Resources, on the Robert M. Myers Archives Holdings page or by using this link: http://www.divineword.org/robert_m_myers_archives/communities_of_the_word.aspx
Congratulations to Peter and Marcia for these outstanding accomplishments!
