MEMORANDUM To: Registrants for ADAH Workshop: "Developing a Local Archives" From: Tom Turley, Local Government Records Archivist, ADAH Subject: Logistical Information for the Workshop Date: July 29, 2003 Thank you for registering for our local archives workshop on Friday, August 6. Attached are an agenda and a map of downtown Montgomery. The following information may also be useful: # Location. With nearly 50 people registered, and due to the noise caused by construction at our own building, we are holding the workshop in the first-floor conference room of the Alabama League of Municipalities building, located on the corner of Adams Avenue and Bainbridge Street, across from the Archives. (See figure A on the map.) # Lunch. Lunch at the workshop will be catered and is covered by your registration fee. For those who prefer, there are a few restaurants (notably the Commerce Center Café) within walking distance. Snacks will be available at workshop breaks. IMPORTANT: If you have registered for the workshop but now cannot attend, or if you intend to bring others with you who are not registered, please let us know immediately, so that we can change our lunch arrangements. Thanks! # Parking. Parking around the capitol complex is always problematic. During our wing construction, the ADAH parking lot is in the hands of the construction crew. We have arranged parking for workshop participants in the Commerce Center garage (map figure C), located across Adams Avenue from the center. Enter the garage from the Decatur Street side and use the code 048*. Metered parking may be available on nearby streets. # Lodging. Those of you who are driving a long distance may want overnight or weekend accommodations. The Embassy Suites Hotel (located downtown across from the Mont-gomery Convention Center on Bibb Street) is convenient and nice, but also expensive. There are several nice motels at Exits 5 and 6 off I-85 North, several miles east of down-town. If you would like more information about lodging, give us a call. We look forward to seeing everybody at the workshop. If you have questions , please call Frank Brown, Tom Turley, or Corlis Floyd at (334)242-4452.
