Match That Photo! Embracing Analog Methods To Enhance Digital Collections, Erin Passehl-Stoddart
Match That Photo! Embracing Analog Methods To Enhance Digital Collections, Erin Passehl-Stoddart
Erin Passehl Stoddart
When creating digital collections, different methods and workflows may be considered depending on the size, amount of metadata, and who will be staffing parts of the digitization process. Feeling overwhelmed with 500+ photographs with minimal metadata, I employed an analog tactic: playing a card matching game with printed photographs. Through matching, metadata was enhanced and locations identified more efficiently than staring at a computer screen. The collection was recently published online and has received local and statewide attention, in part due to its enhanced metadata and researched storyline. This poster will present alternative ways to employ visual literacy tactics to …

This session gathers archivists from throughout the Gem State--from both academic settings and historical societies--to share the variety and richness of our heritage represented by our archival resources. Panelists have selected favorite collections from their respective institutions that highlight Idaho's distinctive--and often surprising--history. Presentations will include recent innovative projects that are making our collections accessible to audiences beyond our borders for the first time. What does "the Musical Poem Recorder of Cascade, Idaho" have to do with Oregon and California? Ever wondered about America's first "mail order religion" and where it all started? The session ultimately spotlights the connections our …

Imagination At Work: Reaching New Users With Innovative Instruction And Outreach, Erin Passehl-Stoddart
Erin Passehl Stoddart
In a college or university setting, archivists are often charged with developing innovative ways to inspire campus users to think expansively and creatively about primary sources. Individual presentations will address developing a fictional collection that can be mobilized and expanded to fulfill learning objectives across multiple disciplines; adapting an interactive game from NYPL to promote and generate interest in archives during New Student Week; and collaborating with faculty and French majors on a grant-funded project to build and promote collections. Other presentations will extend the conversation to assessment and will consider integrating primary source literacy in first-year library instruction classes …

Bridging The Community Through The May Day Fete: The May Day Celebration At Oregon Normal School, Erin Passehl-Stoddart
Erin Passehl Stoddart
In 1902, a new tradition began on the Oregon State Normal School campus: the May Day celebration. Touted as an ardent joyous welcome of springtime and the most anticipated social event on campus‖, the May Day Fete featured a series of events held on a single day early in May, including the winding of the May Pole, an evening dance, costumed drills, sporting events for both men and women, jokes, singing, pageantry, the procession and crowning of the May Day Queen, and the awarding of the trophy in a challenge between the school‘s senior and junior class.

Assessing The Strategic Credibility Of Special Collections And Archives, Erin Passehl, Rick Stoddart
Erin Passehl Stoddart
In this time of often precarious funding at many colleges and universities, any case that can be made to illustrate how a department strategically fits into the overall university mission is not only worth merit, but an essential survival technique. This “strategic credibility” within the university is a vital form of currency in determining institution-wide resources prioritization, collaboration opportunities between organizational units, and overall direction of departments. This poster provides a case study of academic special collections in the Northwest and examines the methods these departments use to demonstrate value to the university. This poster considers how well do special …

Capitalizing On (Un)Limited Potential: Building Digital Collections With A Student Workforce, Erin Passehl
Erin Passehl Stoddart
Regardless of size or budget, libraries and archives are being asked to do more with fewer resources. Digitization projects are susceptible to these same demands. One way to make progress in this digital environment with a shoestring budget is by taking advantage of a student workforce. This presentation shares strategies for digitizing collections using undergraduate student labor, including working with students with no prior knowledge or experience with archival materials or digital collections. The presentation will also address managing additional educational requirements for credit-earning interns, appropriate assumptions for timelines and workflows, scheduling dilemmas, student turnovers, and working with an untrained …
Primary Source Literacy Using Youtube And Espn College Gameday Videos, Erin Passehl
Primary Source Literacy Using Youtube And Espn College Gameday Videos, Erin Passehl
Erin Passehl Stoddart
This presentation looks at a trend that I employed with archival instruction: the use and creation of video in one-shot instruction sessions. I used three specific videos to emphasize certain concepts in my primary source literacy efforts, three videos that have very different audiences, purposes, ways they were created, and distribution models. It will also look at why video can be a useful choice to connect students with primary sources through archival instruction.

“Should I Copy That Photograph?”Real-World Duplication Quandaries, Erin Passehl
“Should I Copy That Photograph?”Real-World Duplication Quandaries, Erin Passehl
Erin Passehl Stoddart
Archivists grapple with hard decisions about reproducing images every day. Aside from the copyright gray zone that so many photographs fall under, there are also issues of professional courtesy, digitization, cultural sensitivity, political pressures, and commercial use. In this panel four archivists discuss some of the more difficult reproduction questions, and resultant solutions, they have encountered. These questions will resonate to similar situations that other archivists have encountered and provide some measure of clarity for dealing with difficult reproduction questions. The panel will also be open to questions and situations presented by the audience.

Student Users Of Archives: An Analysis Of Recent Data, Erin Passehl, Morgan Daniels
Erin Passehl Stoddart
We report the findings of 16 student interviews conducted at a large public university in fall 2005 as part of the research project "Developing Archival Metrics in College and University Archives and Special Collections." Fourteen archivists and twelve professors from North American academic institutions were also interviewed, in order to determine what aspects of archival interactions these groups found important to measure. This presentation considered how do students, professors, and archivists perceive different aspects of archival service and how would they like to see these evaluated?
