Basic Archive Skills Training Day
Date: Thursday 17 March 2005
Venue: The Meeting Place, 32 Stephenson Way, London NW1 2HX
Cost: £117.50 per participant (incl. VAT at 17.5%)
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 who has responsibility for
managing archives and records
This training day is continually reviewed and revised to reflect
feedback from participants and the course directors evaluations. The
day consists of four 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
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; useful
contacts; info-bytes on related topics; a section with guidance on
utilising current technology for records and archives management
participants list; information about other TASC 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 £117.50 (incl. VAT) also includes lunch (with vegetarian option;
please let the directors know if you have any other special dietary
needs) and tea and coffee.
