Most municipal clerks in the US are appointed or elected.  Most have little or no knowledge of records management or archival principles and no idea how to deal with the older records for which they are responsible, let alone the newer, often electronic, records they are creating. With support from the NHPRC, faculty at Simmons College and staff from the Board of Library Commissioners, the Massachusetts Archives, and the Municipal Clerks Association are developing an archives and records administration curriculum (face-to-face and online) for municipal clerks.  The speakers address this program and curriculum development from the points of view of the state archives, curriculum development and grant administration, and a municipal clerk who has dealt with these issues.
