On 8th Janet Foster and Margaret Crockett are back with Introduction to palaeography: How to decipher unfamiliar handwriting helping you to familiarise yourself with 19th and 20th century handwriting. This course is aimed at anyone working with archives with little or no knowledge of palaeography. It will also be of interest to those who want a refresher course to familiarise themselves with 19th & early 20th century handwriting. On the course you will: o Gain an understanding of the techniques for reading unfamiliar handwriting o Gain the ability to read and transcribe 19th & early 20th century documents o Create a transcription self-help checklist o Gain a knowledge of transcription conventions On 10th Mark Restall delivers his third course of the year with us, Volunteers and the Law: Key topics which provides an update on the legal position with volunteers. By the end of the session participants will be clear about how the law affects their organisation’s need to involve volunteers. 100% of those who attended Mark’s last course on volunteering said they would recommend it to someone else, so do come and see how Mark can help your understanding of volunteer management. Course prices begin at £145 plus VAT and fees include all course materials, lunch, and 3 months post course support from your trainer - available as and when you need it.
