Thanks Jenny. You could add to that the short course offered by The Centre for Archive and Information Studies at the University of Dundee. It’s a 9 week course by distance learning – An Introduction to the Management and Preservation of Archives. For more information see www.dundee.ac.uk/cais or contact [log in to unmask].

Subject: Online basic archive and RM courses - a summary

Apologies for cross-posting

By request here is a summary of suggestions I have received for some resources I can offer my HLF Skills for the Future trainee in basic archives and records management skills. Note that not all are free but my understanding is that some resources can be made available for trainees to undertake learning.

International Council on Archives Managing Archives study programme http://irmt.org/documents/educ_training/public_sector_rec/IRMT_manage_archives.pdf

University of Edinburgh records management guidance http://www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/records-management-section/records-management

London Museums Hub records management e-learning tool http://www.museuminfo-records.org.uk/

AIIM Electronic Records Management course http://www.aiim.org/Training/Certificate-Courses/Electronic-Records-Management

And the Archive-Skills Consultancy Ltd also run basic archive training skills and foundation blocks of RM training days, currently mainly in London or York although they have come further north in the past http://www.archive-skills.com/training/index.php

I hope these are helpful to other trainee hosts, we'll certainly be able to make use of some of them here.

Thanks to all for your suggestions!

Jenny
