Hi Grant,

 

Thanks for drawing this to our attention – it sounds like a potentially useful event. I will be asking the boss whether I can attend. It would be good to know whether other Scottish HE archivists plan to go – I suppose in a way that for us SUSCAG already performs the ‘mutual support’ network referred to in the agenda, but our experience might be useful for the wider context.

 

Does anyone follow the HEarchivists listserv? I had made contact some time ago but haven’t had much to do with it.

 

Best wishes,

Rachel.

Dear all,

 

Just picked this up from Archives-NRA and wondered what colleagues thoughts were in relation to Scottish HEIs and who might be thinking of attending.

 

Best wishes

Calling all HE/University Archivists!

 

University Archives Roundtable

The National Archives

Kew, United Kingdom

Tuesday, 25 November 2014 from 10:00 to 15:30

 

The National Archives would like to develop a training and guidance offer for Higher Education/University Archives as well as ensure sector engagement in future policy and strategy. We would like to invite you to an event to enable your participation in creating a programme that will be useful to Higher Education archivists. Advice and feedback has been important for The National Archives to shape some recent key initiatives it has led or been a partner in. Local Authority sector input was invaluable to help The National Archives identify the need for guidance and to refine its scope and content last year. This year we would like to discuss the key risks, issues and opportunities that we should be concentrating on in partnership with University Archives and how we can continue to feed in ideas from services to develop a pilot training offer. The day will be a mixture of short presentations to spark debate, lightning talks (a limited number of 5 minute slots such that anyone attending who wishes to share something with the wider group) and workshops.

 

Possible topics for inclusion are:

·         Strategic relationships

·         How to position archives effectively within Higher Education organisations

·         How to evidence the contribution archives make to outcomes

·         Collecting and collections

·         Digital Archiving

·         Mutual support networks

·         The National Archive’s role, resources and support

 

If you would like to attend please book via the Eventbrite link below.
