In a student workshop, Writing Public History, alumni writers DeJoe and Denz will give  an overview of their duties, the expectations they face in the workplace and the kinds of professional writing they engage in on a daily basis.

DeJoe will workshop examples of developing training guides for new employees and creating labels for various artifacts. Denz will present examples of processing projects that record managers/archivists may encounter and explain how to create inventories for future search requests. She will also workshop document descriptions to show how records with dense content can be described and condensed in one or two sentences.
