Dear colleagues,
You will have recently seen a request by Jonathan Whiting for Records
Managers to attend a focus group meeting as part of the Society of
Archivists' Working Party on Regular Training Programmes. Well, I am putting
in an identical plea for archivists to attend the same meeting.
If you are free on the afternoon of 12th September (1.30-5pm), if you would
like to contribute your views and opinions on the development of training
programmes for archivists, on CPD, on the delivery of training, and can come
to the City of Westminster Archives Centre, then I'd be delighted to hear
from you.
The focus group will be made up of four archivists, four records managers
and four conservators, each at a different point in their professional
careers. I have been able to find articulate and enthusiastic volunteers for
two of the required groups (group 1: recently qualified and group 4: senior
position/15+ years experience). However, I still need to find two archivists
for the following groups:
Group 2: 5-10 years expereince
Group 3: mid career/10-15 years experience
If you would like to attend, please email me off-list or call on 020 7898
4182. Please don't feel inhibited if you are not based in London - I am
assured that the SoA will reimburse train fares!
