Basic Archive Skills Training Day, London
Date: Wednesday, 19 October 2005
Venue: Friends House, 173 Euston Road, London N1 2BJ
Cost: £129.25 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 reviewed and revised continually 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;
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 £129.25 (incl. VAT at 17.5%) also includes lunch
(with vegetarian option; please let the directors know if you have
any other special dietary needs) and tea and coffee.
