Restricted Materials

Every repository holds materials that cannot be opened to the public right away. This webinar will walk you through how to identify restricted materials, document the reasons for restriction, and manage access in a way that supports both ethical stewardship and institutional transparency. We will talk about common restriction categories, how to communicate restrictions to researchers, and how to build policies that balance privacy, legal requirements, and user needs.

Monday, March 2nd @ 5 pm CT via Zoom.

Knowledge Management

Knowledge management focuses on capturing the information people carry in their heads, organizing it, and making it usable across an organization. In this webinar, we will outline what knowledge management is, how it differs from archives, and why it often becomes the precursor to a successful archival program. We will talk about practical ways to map institutional knowledge, build documentation, and create repeatable systems that reduce risk and support long term memory for your organization.

Monday, April 6th @ 5 pm CT via Zoom.

Shoestring Digital Preservation

Digital preservation does not have to be expensive or complicated. In this webinar, we will walk through realistic, budget friendly steps that museums and archives can take to protect digital files, stabilize at risk media, and build sustainable workflows over time. We will focus on simple tools, clear decision making, and low cost practices that still align with professional standards.

Monday, May 4th @ 5 pm CT via Zoom.
