Final Week!!

Welcome to the End!!! 

This week focus on finishing your Research Paper and on writing up your Series Descriptions.
Please allow time to edit your own writing-- at least 2 drafts.

If you are not familiar with Purdue University's OWL, check it out.  It provides guidance on all aspects of research paper composition.  See the section on "Research and Citation" for instrction on the Chicago style guide.    Remember,  you will be graded on research content, grammar, style, and, formatting. So spend the time to get it right!

For archival description, please review the relevant sections in DACS (Describing Archives a Content Standard)

DACS

Read the introductory matter on the "Levels of Description"  (pp. 3-12), and then pp. 45-49 on "Scope and Content".   You will be writing a Series Description rather than Collection Level description, but the same principles apply.  Nathan can advise.

See you all next week!
