The Fall meeting for the VRA Northern California chapter will take place on Wednesday, November 14, 2012 in downtown San Francisco. Our day will start at the Academy of Art University Library, located at 180 New Montgomery Street at Howard. We will be utilizing the new GoToMeeting software provided by VRA to hold a virtual joint meeting with the VRA Southern California chapter, and enable participation in our local chapter business meeting if you cannot attend in person.
After lunch, we will regroup three blocks away at the Society of California Pioneers, located at 300 Fourth Street at Folsom. Patricia Keats, Director of Library and Archives, will share examples of the image resources in the Society's collection and talk about the grant-funded digitization efforts that produced two unique databases. We will also view the current exhibition, Singing the Golden State, which Ms. Keats helped curate.
