Basic Archives Workshop
The Basic Archives Workshop was an introductory workshop for those who work with historical documents. Participants came from local museum and historical societies, genealogical societies, libraries, community colleges, and some county and municipal governments. It took place at the Kansas Historical Society in Topeka in 2013.
This workshop was developed with funding provided by the National Historical Publications and Records Committee (NHPRC) and Kansas Historical Society (KHS). The project was administered by Kansas State Historical Records Advisory Board (KSHRAB). Some material was borrowed from the American Association of State and Local History (AASLH)'s Basics of Archives workshop series.

Digital Preservation Workshop
The Digital Preservation Workshop took place at the 2014 KMA Annual Conference in Salina, KS.
"Our photo albums, letters, home movies and paper documents are a vital link to the past. Personal information we create today has the same value. The only difference is that much of it is now digital. Chances are that you want to keep some digital photos, e-mail, and other files so that you--and your family--can look at them in the future. But preserving digital information is a new concept that most people have little experience with."
