Dear All,
I am hoping to establish an informal group for those currently gaining experience, prior to starting a post-graduate archives qualification. As a manager of an archives graduate trainee, it has struck me that no such group exists and that it might be useful for trainees and possibly also those that manage them to meet regularly. I would envisage the group meeting three or four times a year (or as often as felt useful!), with each meeting being held at a different institution, enabling the trainees to gain an insight into different organisations. The meeting would give the trainees the opportunity to meet and learn about each others’ roles and I hope we would be able to have some guest speakers on topics of interest.
If you would be interested in joining such as group either as a graduate trainee/archive assistant who is intending to qualify, or as someone who manages such a post, please do get in touch off list. Also, if anyone would like to help with the group or would be willing to host such meetings, please do let me know.
Many thanks
