Accessioning! Webinar Recording Now Available

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our first webinar of 2019, Accessioning! Consulting Archivist Clare Flemming led an informative presentation, discussing the importance of accessioning and the best practices for institutions to follow while undertaking this important step in acquiring new collection materials. She provided illustrative examples and answered some really great questions including how to handle tricky situations with “found in collection” items. You can view a recording of yesterday’s presentation and download the slideshow at the links below.
