I. Archives Week

Speakers

- Erin has not been able to reach Steve Hensen on the phone and will email him.
- Dr. Gracy will aim for Wednesday night of archives week for his talk on forgery.
- We agreed to try to arrange a reception after Andras' speech to include the other co-sponsors. Molly will look into reserving either the hallway or the outdoor quad of the Pharmacy building. We will have to wait and see what Andras' schedule is before making other dinner arrangements.
Fundraising
- GSLIS has offered us $250.00. Molly and Ben are still going to meet with Dean Dillon and see the contribution could be increased.
- So far we have raised $2000.00
- Molly reported on her efforts to get funding from the student government.
Publicity
- Molly passed around copies of the images that Andras' sent. We agreed to try and put all of his images on the Archives Week Web site.
- We agreed to talk more about publicity at the next meeting.
Giveaways
- Molly passed around some quotes from Branders.com. For the minimum order of 500 and with a simple logo, the magnets would be $309.00 and the notepads $375.98. Stephen will try to work on simplifying the Mrs. Eberly image. We will have to make decision to place an order at the next meeting.
Banner
- Molly reserved the space on the bridge for the banner. She will pick it up and have it updated.

II. Web site/URL

Addy reported that an account on the student server is $15.00 annually. We agreed to change our site to this domain.
Stephen will send his Archives Week Web site out to us to critique.

III. Other Matters

By our count at the meeting we have 54 mugs left. We discussed the various people who should be given mugs at archives week, and discussed the potential need to order more mugs. We decided that we do not need to order more at the moment.
