UTSA Archives Group Project

The UTSA Archives staff will use this blog to journal a group project. We are going to process a collection of family papers from beginning to end, and document our steps along the way, including the discovery of unique documents, dealing with preservation issues, planning the arrangement of the documents, and any problems or issues we might encounter with the collection and/or our decision to blog it. By blogging the project, we hope to be able to share the experiences of our group project with many communities: archivists, students in archives and library science programs, historians, UTSA Library staff, researchers, and anyone else that might stumble upon the blog. In retrospect, the blog may also be a learning tool for us in planning future group projects. We hope that this will be a learning experience for our audience (and ourselves!), but that it will also be an enjoyable one, as well.

We welcome all comments and questions.
