Public Services Quality Group - Quality Forum 2004
"Anchoring communities: the contribution of archives to the learning agenda"
The ninth annual quality forum for archives and local studies will be held
at The National Archives, Kew, on Wednesday 10 November 2004. This year,
PSQG explores ways of learning (particularly informal ways of learning) in
our sector. Speakers will also so speak on community learning and the future
of learning in archives'.
As usual, the forum is of particular interest to staff and managers in the
frontline of our services and those responsible for outreach and education.
