Hello California SIG members, On Friday June 3rd, MCN's California SIG and the Center for Digital Archeology at UC Berkeley (CoDA), are pleased to present a full day's worth of exciting programming; and we hope you can make it.
This meeting, organized by Cinzia Perlingieri, Director of Research at CoDA, will bring together UC archeologists and MCN technologists in a way we have never done in the California SIG. Please scroll down for the full announcement. Hope you can make it! Details will follow your RSVP (by May 26th) to: Cinzia Perlingieri, c.perlingieri at berkeley.com or Marla Misunas, mmisunas at sfmoma.org.

Hearst Museum of Anthropology, UC Berkeley and Present: Places, Collections, and Digital Narratives: Towards a stronger collaboration between Museums and Cultural Heritage June 3, 2011 Archaeological Research Facility, Room 101 University of California at Berkeley This one-day event is jointly organized by the Museum Computer Network -California Special Interest Group as part of their MCN Inter-conference initiative, and CoDA - Center for Digital Archaeology, Berkeley. The idea for this workshop came out during the California SIG meeting at the 38th Annual MCN Conference of October 2010, held in Austin, Texas. The discussion focused on the need of an increased collaboration between museum and archaeology/Cultural Heritage worlds. The two domains share many aspects in their daily tasks, and a deeper exploration of each other's methods, technical solutions, and challenges encountered, can only benefit both our worlds. This one-day meeting is aimed at moving a step forward into a closer collaboration. Participants will share their experience and will discuss ideas and proposals aimed at better engaging a large audience of learners and users of cultural heritage, both at archaeological sites and in museums. The event will be blogged and twitted about, thanks to the collaboration of interns at the Center for Digital Archaeology.
