[Personal_archives] ACA FOLLOWUP

[Hobbs Catherine]

 Hi Yvette,

Thank you very much for letting us know. How wonderful.  That's the idea:  getting people thinking and talking about personal archives.  I'm really glad to hear that our ACA session received such a positive response and I'm sure that Heather and Rodney feel the same way.

Thanks for taking the time to forward the feedback to us.

All the best,
Catherine

Hi Catherine,

I thought you might be interested in this - I was sent the survey results re the ACA conference in Fredericton.  One of the questions asked the respondent to name the session "most useful or interesting to you".  Many didn't answer it, and many said there were many good sessions, but of those who did specify a session, "The Personal is Digital" got the second most number of specific references.  (I'm afraid the Open software session got the most.)

 I hope this encourages you to keep up your efforts to make personal records more visible - people are appreciating the effort.

I'm afraid I cleaned out all my ACA files, including e-mail addresses for the rest of the group, so maybe you could pass this on.

Thanks,

Yvette
