Archive research class at ANA, Boston?

I was wondering if collectors/board members would be interested in a short seminar in archival research? One thought is to have a 2 or 3 hr session during the Boston ANA.

The purpose would be to show collectors how to access and use archival materials, and how to organize what they find so it will be useful.

    I'll be there and would be very interested in such a class, especially if it included info on using the National Archives.

    I would love it, but unfortunately cannot afford to bake the trip. Still a great idea and I hope many are able to take advantage of your offer.

    Excellent subject which would provide value to researchers who are just embarking on a project. Cheers, RickO

    Thanks everyone. A rough total from here and NGC fro 24 hours is 12 who would participate if they could and 6 who expect to be in Boston. Will put those numbers into the Harvard MBA "value add" formula and turn the magic crank.

    Depending on which day it was, I'd love to attend. It would have to be friday night or saturday for me to even have a chance of making it though image
