October Library-Archives Brown Bag

Bring your lunch and your brain!

Join your fellow archivists and librarians for a monthly, informal discussion of selected articles related to our profession. October’s Brown Bag discussion will be held Thursday October 22nd at noon in the Murphy Board Room at the Wisconsin Historical Society (located on the third floor on the north side of the WHS headquarters building).

Richard Pearce-Moses,
Deputy Director for Technology and Information Resources, Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records and principal investigator on the Persistent Digital Archives and Library System (PeDALS) project, will be here to answer your questions regarding the work of a collaborative project, named PeDALS, to develop a trusted digital repository.
