May 27-29, 2004
San Antonio, Texas

   

Welcome one and all to San Antonio, site of the 2004 Society of Southwest Archivists annual meeting.  Please join us, May 27-29, 2004, at the historic La Mansion. The La Mansion is centrally located on the RiverWalk. It is steps away from the quiet, scenic end of the river; yet, a leisurely stroll in the other direction and one finds restaurants, coffee houses, and the short cut to the Alamo. 

Thursday’s events includes two workshops - Archives and Intellectual Properties in the Digital Age: An Examination of the Legal and Ethical issues and Preservation, Maintenance, and Management of Magnetic Media Collections.  The opening reception, co-sponsored by the Witte and UTSA Library, will be Thursday evening at the Witte Museum.

Friday will begin with a breakfast for newcomers.  Please meet in the lobby at 7:45 to go to area restaurants.  Breakfast is self-paid.  The Plenary session will begin at 9:00.  There will be a choice of nine sessions throughout the day and our lunch speaker will be Dora Guerra.  Ms. Guerra, a native San Antonian and former head of the UTSA Special Collections will be presenting “The Story of the San Antonio River Walk.” Dinner Friday night will be in small groups to local RiverWalk restaurants and led by members of the Local Arrangements committee.  Restaurant sign-up sheets will be available at the SSA Registration desk on Thursday and Friday.  The Ghost Tour is one of the choices for dinner.  Registration is limited to the first fifty people.

Saturday morning will begin with the SSA business meeting and breakfast.  Cindy Smolovik will be giving us an update on the A*CENSUS project.  This will be followed by a return of the wildly popular Slotto MC’d by our own wildly popular Kim Allen Scott. Please bring your slotto donations or mail them to Gerrianne Schaad at 801 South Bowie, San Antonio, TX 78205. There will be a Missions tour Saturday afternoon for those of you interested.

Late registration begins on May 1, 2004.  Registrations received after May 7 will be treated like on-site registration.  On-site registrants will not have seats in the Friday lunch or Saturday breakfast.  I hope all of you will come in early and stay the weekend.  There is plenty to see and do in San Antonio and the weather should be lovely.
