Apologies for cross posting

 

Dear All
Some of you may be aware that the Society of Archivists and CILIP signed a joint protocol in 2006 regarding joint working. As a way of taking this forward CILIP are offering some of their courses to Society members at the same rate as CILIP members pay. This is a discount of up to 40%. Details of the ten courses are below.  I would encourage Society members to take up this offer so that we are able to repeat it in the future.

Regards

John
