BALH Digital Skills Workshop : Archiving Your Local History Collection

Details:

One of a series of digital skills workshops and webinars hosted by BALH in 2021.

Most local history societies and groups own paper and digital records that document their activities, such as meeting minutes, event posters and flyers, and photographs. This session will provide advice on archiving these collections, on the best way of preserving physical and digital records for the future, on cataloguing, and on archiving emails, websites and social media. We will also explore depositing local history society archives with county records offices and history centres.

This webinar is free to BALH members.
