Join the Center for Archival Futures for an in-person SNACSchool!
NARA archivists and SNAC Liaisons Jerry Simmons and Dina Herbert will lead an in-person half-day training in SNAC - Social Networks and Archival Context. SNAC is a cooperative platform that aggregates archival finding aids, making collections searchable across institutions, and across the world.
SNACSchool is the official training program of the SNAC platform. We are very lucky to be partnering with SNAC to offer this training live for UMD students and faculty. Attendees will get a refresher on some core concepts (a.k.a. authority control, metadata standards), learn how to edit a historical figure, and link them to archival resources across the world.
SNACSchool will take place in person on Friday, September 23 from 9am-12:30pm with a short break. Come early for free breakfast starting at 8:30am!
