Description: This workshop will introduce techniques to identify records that are necessary for
adequate documentation of local governments and the communities they serve. Identifying records which have
enduring value is one of the most challenging tasks of an archival program. Through lecture, cases studies,
discussion and exercises, participants will explore the current methodology for appraising records, learn how
to use State Archives schedules in identifying archival records, and discuss how to apply the techniques to
their own local records.
