Red Island Repository Institute 2011

The Red Island Repository Institute returns!

Cost: $2800.00 (additional non-registrant $1500.00)

This year's Institute will be held between September 17th-23rd. We are planning to have 2 streams this year: Digital Humanities and Science Data. Come and learn about cutting-edge repository technologies with like minded folk on beautiful Prince Edward Island. 

For this year's event, we have exclusively booked Dalvay by the Sea, a resort converted from the Alexander Macdonald mansion (built 1895). We'll be 100m from the ocean, and just 20 minutes from Charlottetown. There are both cottages and rooms available. Registration covers the cost of your room, from Saturday night to the following Friday morning.
