[Personal_archives] Cathy Marshall in dailogue

[Hobbs, Catherine]

Good morning,
Just to update you on the proposed listserv discussion with Cathy Marshall (Microsoft) on the topic of digital personal archives:

I've invited her for the week of April 27th-May 1st.  The scheduling is based on the feedback I received from some of you in response to my earlier message.  Thank you to those of you who let me know your preferences.  

So, we're in the process of finalizing this date and the preparatory readings.
I'll keep you posted.  I am looking forward to a dynamic discussion on what is often construed as 'wild' territory in terms of personal archives.  I hope you'll reflect on those issues which concern you and inspire you in this realm.

Warmly,
Catherine

(SISPA Chair)

Hi Everyone,

Cathy Marshall of Microsoft appears very interested in discussing personal digital archives with us by way of a listserv discussion. 
 
Late April or early May would be a better time for her to schedule this, however.  
To quote her: I'd like to give this a meaningful slice of my attention, and I'm afraid that if I commit to any more than I have already, I wouldn't be giving it enough time.

So.  Which dates work for the majority of SISPA members?  Particularly those of you in academic settings?  
You can respond off-list to myself or Heather Dean directly.

Thanks,
Catherine
(SISPA Chair)
