Dec 1-3 Managing Electronic Records and Workshop on Disasters – The Morning After : Recovery of Office Records, Library and Archival Materials

Dear Sir/Madam:

The Society of Filipino Archivists (SFA) will hold a live-out Seminar on Managing Electronic Records and Workshop on Disasters – The Morning After : Recovery of Office Records, Library and Archival Materials at the University Hotel, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City on December 1-3, 2009.

The first topic will take advantage of the expertise of Mrs. Teresa S. Montesa, former President of the Society, who is now working as Senior Records/Archives Officer at the International Monetary Fund. The workshop activities are in response to the problems being met by offices, libraries and archives with collections which were damaged by flood waters due to typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng. The training will enable the participants to : learn about the fundamentals and requirements of managing electronic records and have hands-on exercises in salvaging water damaged collections. As climate change is an inevitable phenomenon, the Society believes that disaster preparedness should include saving personal and institutional records which constitute the collective memory of our country.

In this regard, we would like to invite your office personnel, archivists, records officers, librarians, curators, administrative staff in-charge of records, secretaries and other professionals/staff caring for your heritage collection. The fee is P3,600.00 per participant, inclusive of registration fee, meals, instructional materials, kit, cost of workshop supplies and other administrative expenses. An amount of P100.00 is added to the registration fee if paid in check issued outside Metro Manila. We would appreciate it if you can send in your reservation on or before November 25, 2009. Kindly communicate your reservation to any of the following:
