BASIC ARCHIVE SKILLS TRAINING DAY
30th May, 2002
Venue: The Meeting Place, 153 Drummond Street, London NW1 2PB
Our well-known Introductory Course is aimed at people working with archives
and records without formal recordkeeping qualifications, and who feel that
they would benefit from some basic training in the principles of managing
records and archives. It is suitable for:
? Archives and records assistants
? Managers of archive staff
? Librarians and information managers responsible for archives and records
? IT professionals seeking an overview of the aims of archives and records
management
? Anyone else with responsibility for managing archives and records
The training day was reviewed and revised in September 2001 to reflect
feedback from participants and the course director’s evaluations. The day
retains the five core sessions focusing on the main areas of archives and
records management, differing in length as appropriate. By chairing and
facilitating throughout the day, the course directors will ensure that the
program is integrated and flows well. Sessions will include ample time for
questions and a high level of participation is encouraged.
A course handbook will be provided, which will contain:
? supporting notes from the speakers;
? a select bibliography;
? the BASTD glossary of archive and records management terms;
? speakers list;
? participants list;
? information about other BASTD training opportunities
Participants are encouraged to prepare for the course by formulating
questions or issues that have arisen in the course of their work, for
consideration by the speakers and the class as a whole.
The course fee of £100 also includes lunch (with vegetarian option, please
let the directors know if you have any other special dietary needs) and tea
and coffee.
