Greetings!
We've been working on the Sustainable Living Book
Fair and Conference and think we have some
interesting talks lined up. Do stop by if can. We'll have
information on everything from geothermal heating and
cooling to papermaking. And Monday, the EcoHuskies
will have lots of concurrent events. See below for more
information.
The Society of American Archivists has published Tom
Wilsted's book, Planning New and Remodeled
Archival Facilities. This is the definitive book for
anyone involved in planning archival facilities.
Congratulations Tom!
See you soon?
