Our well-known Introductory Course is aimed at people working with
archives and records without formal recordkeeping qualifications who
feel that they would benefit from some basic training in the principles
of managing records and archives. It is suitable for:
* Archives and records assistants
* Managers of archive staff
* Librarians and information managers responsible for archives and
records
* IT professionals seeking an overview of the aims of archives and
records management
* Anyone else who has involvement with or responsibility for
managing archives and records
This training day is reviewed and revised continually to reflect
feedback from participants and the course directors’ evaluations. The
day consists of four core sessions focusing on the main areas of
archives and records management, differing in length as appropriate.
Sessions will include ample time for questions and a high level of
participation is encouraged.
A course handbook will be provided, which contains:
* supporting notes from the speakers;
* a select bibliography;
* the BASTD glossary of archive and records management terms;
* useful contacts;
* info-bytes on related topics;
* participants list;
* information about other TASC training opportunities
Participants also receive a certificate of attendance.
The course fee of £129.25 (incl. VAT) also includes lunch (with
vegetarian option; please let the directors know if you have any other
special dietary needs) and tea and coffee.
