Dear Colleagues,
A quick reminder about the Digital Impact Seminar: Let's Get Digital that is running at The National Archives on Wednesday 16 January. Bookings are still open, but places are filling up fast.
This event will highlight learning from our pilot Digital Learning Set project, look at what comes next, explore ways to improve digital skills and capacity within the sector, and discuss the future of digital collecting. Our pilot Digital Learning Set project brought together services and networks to share knowledge of different approaches to the digital challenge. Subjects explored during the sessions included digital preservation, acquisition and selection, access and engagement. We would welcome participants at all stages of their digital journey, and from across the archives sector.
