Gloria > Dear friends, > I organize a K'zoo session each year on libraries and archives, > sponsored by the CARA committee of the Medieval Academy. The session is > intended to provide practical information for graduate students and > young scholars: for this year's conference the topics are TNA/PRO and > the British Library. My plan is two speakers for each archive, one > talking about 'what you need to show up with' (passport? letter from > supervisor/chair? passport-sized photo? brief outline of proposed > research? what you can take into the search rooms, etc etc), the other > person talking about accessing the collections (indexes, catalogues, etc > etc). Very recent experience is a good idea, since both of these > archives (esp TNA) changes very frequently at the moment. I'd be > grateful of any volunteers! I'll do the TNA 'what you need' one myself, > so I'm looking for three other people. This counts as a roundtable > discussion, so it does not prejudice your ability to give a paper in > another session. > David > > -- > David N.
