Free pick and mix training

Tuesday 5 March, 10-1pm at the Heritage Hub, Gloucestershire Archives is running a free training session covering 2 topics -

Introduction to managing your collections:

Are people offering you their old documents and photos?
Does your community have an “archive cupboard” known only to a few?
Do you find yourself responsible for precious archive material?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, this module, aimed at people with little or no previous archive or record keeping knowledge, can help.

We will look at how to:

decide what items to collect
organise and keep track of what you’ve got
share your treasures and involve more people in their local heritage.

Introduction to digital preservation:

Are you responsible for looking after precious archive material, some of which is digital?
Will you need to access digital records in the future?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, this module, aimed at people with little or no previous archive or record keeping knowledge, can help.

We will look at how to keep your digital records:

secure
accessible
meaningful

You can book onto our ‘Managing your collections’ training session taking place 10-1.00 on 5 March 2019 for FREE!
