Dear Colleagues, There is still time to make nominations for the three new ARA awards - the deadline is Monday 29 February. The awards are: * Distinguished Service Award (DSA) To recognise outstanding individual conservators, archivists or records managers for career-long record of achievement and/or a discrete, ground-breaking piece of work. Some examples could include successful management/implementation of a challenging project, external fundraising that has transformed access to a resource or significant, sustained improvements to service delivery. * Record Keeper of the Year To recognise achievement within the last eighteen months by an individual archivist, conservator or records manager who is at any stage of his/her career. * Record Keeping Service of the Year To recognise achievements by a specific archive or records-management service within the last eighteen months. A Record Keeping Service is defined as any individual or concern, public or private, responsible for the care, management or conservation of records in any format. The nominated service must employ a professional archivist; and/or a records manager; and/or a paper conservator. For example, a museum conservation unit could be nominated but the conservation of archives must form a key part of its remit. Full details of the awards themselves and the nomination process can be found at: http://www.archives.org.uk/ara-in-action/news/606-three-new-ara-awards-champion-individual-and-service-excellence.html Best regards Sam Johnston ARA Board Member "This e-mail is intended for the named addressee(s) only and may contain information about individuals or other sensitive information and should be handled accordingly.
