Sue Luftschein, Archival and Metadata Librarian at USC Libraries Special Collections
Sue Luftschein is the Archival and Metadata Librarian at USC Libraries Special Collections. She has held this role for the last four years and oversees all aspects of archival management for the USC Libraries Special Collections department. She led efforts at USC to transition from Archivist's Toolkit to ArchivesSpace which they have been using the past year.
Who should attend:
Anyone who is interested in learning the basics of ArchivesSpace should attend. No prior experience with an archival management tool is necessary. The workshop is designed for a wide array of backgrounds, and will cover both the ins and the outs of creating a finding aid using ArchivesSpace, as well as its administrative functions. Participants must bring a laptop that can connect to the internet, and if possible, begin familiarizing themselves with the ArchivesSpace sandbox (http://archivesspace.org/sandbox).
Registration fee includes light refreshments.
Parking at Balboa Park is free. A map of the Balboa Park area is available here.
