Special Collections Roundtable of Upstate New York
The next Special Collections Roundtable of Upstate New York is being hosted by the University of Rochester on Thursday, May 16. We have purposely scheduled it to start later in the day (beginning with a lunch at noon) so that those of you with a drive will be able to get there in time to enjoy what the U of R has in store for us. While this event is aimed at Rare Books librarians and Special Collections archivists/curators/librarians in the Upstate New York area, anyone with an interest in the subject matter is, of course, welcome to join us for sharing techniques and networking with your colleagues.
More information about the event, including an agenda, registration details, directions, can be found here: http://clrc.org/event-registration-2/?action=evregister&event_id=104

Reminder: Bylaws Vote at Erie Business Meeting
Author: Dan Linke, Member-at-Large
The following originally appeared in the Winter 2013 edition of the Mid-Atlantic Archivist. It is being reposted here, with additions, as reminder that the following will be brought to vote at the Erie Business Meeting.
A fun fact that emerged during MARAC’s 40th Anniversary is that the organization started with about 100 members and over four decades grew by almost 1000%! Over that time, committees were organized and added as needed or opportunities arose. This past year, MARAC Chair Ed Galloway, tasked an ad hoc committee composed of the four at-large Steering Committee members with reviewing how our awards committees are structured and recommending any changes. The committee (Rebecca Collier, Tammy Hamilton, Dan Linke, and Jordon Steele) found that, for the most part, the Arline Custer Memorial Award Committee and the Finding Aids Awards committee run well. However, they did notice operational differences between the two. Both grant monetary awards, yet the administration of each committee differs significantly. Custer Committee members are elected, while Finding Aids Committee members are appointed by the chair.
