ANNOUNCING 2016 SPRING SOJOURN

3/4/2016

 
Last Fall’s Sojourn was the biggest in Archives history and we have great expectations for the next session. A key component to this Sojourn will be a Global Archives Planning session on Tuesday, March 29th to strategically map out the next several years. The intent for Spring Sojourn 2016 is to release ICA Global Archive strategy to support ongoing archive projects and the mission of ICA.
