Disaster Planning
Join us for a practical webinar on disaster planning for archives, libraries, and museums. We’ll cover how to prepare for emergencies, protect your collections, and create a response plan that actually works. Whether you’re starting from scratch or updating an old plan, this session will help you feel more confident and ready.
Monday, October 27th @ 5 pm CT via Zoom.
Archives Basics
Countless repositories depend on occasional or intermittent labor to manage their archives, especially if their main mission lies elsewhere. When a new archivist starts managing a collection like this, it is often full of mysteries and not usable. This webinar will cover basic actions an archivist can take in building a strong foundation for a new (or new to them) archival collection.
Monday, November 24th @ 5 pm CT via Zoom.
Record Lifecycle
Archives are made up of records, but how do some records make it into an archive while others don’t? To help answer that question, we first need to understand the nature of records. The records of information we make aren’t static but pass through stages. Throughout these stages, the information record evolves and changes purposes. This webinar will walk through the lifecycle of a record and how it ends up in an archive or not. There are multiple models for conveying the lifecycle of a record, but this webinar will focus on the four-phase approach of record creation, active use, semi-active use, and final disposition.
Monday, December 8th @ 5 pm CT via Zoom.
