Places available on short online Business Archives and Records (15 weeks) course taught by Alison Turton.

 

A small number of places are available for study in May 2019 on the short online course Business Archives and Records offered by the Centre for Archive and Information Studies (CAIS) at the University of Dundee. In this module you will gain an understanding of the history of business and the types of records generated, how to manage them, make them accessible and their diverse uses. The module also addresses current issues and has an international perspective. 

The module is aimed at all those who work with business archives and related records and addresses key aspects of their identification, management and use. Topics are discussed within the context of current developments for the business archives sector in the UK and abroad. Business records have the potential to be both a business and cultural asset providing crucial commentary on a nation's economic, political and social developments. This module will equip you to understand, manage and advocate for such collections under your care.

The module includes:

• understanding different types of business records and their uses
• the identification and description of technical records and the development of office technology
• appraisal of business records in a corporate environment
• outreach and advocacy
• project management
• risk management.
