There will be an Archives Hub Contributors' Training Day on Thursday 19th
September. The course will run from 10.30-4pm in the Small Training room at
Manchester Computing.
This event will be useful for you if you work in a higher or further
education institution in the United Kingdom and are interested in or about
to begin submitting collection-level descriptions of your archives to the
Archives Hub service. 48 institutions are already taking part in the service
and by June 2003 we will have over 20,000 collections in the database. The
Hub is available at http://www.archiveshub.ac.uk. Further information about
the process of submitting records is available there in the 'Data Creation'
pages.
The course will include the following:
Introduction to the Archives Hub
Introduction to EAD
Using the online template
Indexing for the Archives Hub
Hands on experience of creating records using the template
There is no charge for attending the course and lunch will be provided.
To book your place or for further information please contact the Archives
Hub helpdesk (details below).
