Venue: The Greater Manchester Record Office, 56 Marshall Street, New Cross, Manchester M4 5FU

Cost: £129.25 per participant (incl. VAT at 17.5%)

This training course is a more in-depth handling of the principles
and practice of records management in the modern hybrid paper and
digital environment. Thus the course sets out the principles and
practices behind good records management regardless of the media of
the material.

Managing Paper and Digital Records builds on the Records Management
Overview session in the Basic Archive Skills Training Day and
assumes this baseline understanding of the subject. Participants who
have not attended the Basic Archive Skills training will be provided
with relevant pre-course reading. With this proviso, this training
is suitable for anyone setting up a records management programme and
for all staff working in records centres.

Morning sessions cover the necessary components of a Records
Management programme and an overview of particular issues such as
legislation, standards, storage and preservation and how to deal
with paper and digital systems in an integrated way. In the
afternoon there will be a case study to illustrate practical
implementation of a records management system followed by workshops.

This course has been re-designed for 2004, reflecting both feedback
from participants and the on-going experience and research of the
Directors. Its focus on a case study and workshops together with an
initial quiz is intended to deepen participants’ knowledge and
understanding and to give a thorough grounding in the challenges and
techniques of managing records in the modern hybrid environment. The
course is presented and facilitated by Margaret Crockett and Janet
Foster.

The course fee of £129.25 (incl. VAT) includes a course handbook
with supporting notes and useful sources for further information.
The fee also includes lunch (with vegetarian option; please let the
directors know if you have any other special dietary needs) and tea
and coffee.
