This was a busy week. I worked on social media for Avery, attended staff meetings, wrote a draft of a blog post on community archives for the Avery blog, which will go live this week (week six), and processed the Order of the Eastern Star collection.
On Thursday, October 6th, Ms. Mayo and I attended the South Carolina Archival Association (S.C.A.A.) conference/meeting in Columbia, SC (which is about two hours from Charleston) on the University of South Carolina (USC) campus. The conference was entitled Bridging the Gap, where archival professionals shared their expertise with other professionals and new professionals. The sessions were on resumes and interviews; mentoring; and leadership. All of them provided worthwhile information and it was good to connect with other archival and information professionals in South Carolina. Ms. Mayo introduced me to some of former classmates from USC and people that she considers as mentors. In addition, we made contact with archivists that would happily give us a tour of their repositories, so I see some field trips in the near future!
