We’ll forgive them for only including the UK in their advertising text despite also representing Irish new professionals as well… @aranewprofs.bsky.social
Our pals at ARA new professionals are looking for a training officer to help ease new archivists and records managers into an ever confusing sea of legislation and technology! Is it you? Do you know someone let the the team at @aranewprofs.bsky.social know!
Archival collections are never straightforward in terms of holding! Especially with donations. Our ARA pals @araarchmus.bsky.social are offering an excellent session on mixed collections, and you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your (home) office
Did you know the Falklands has its own archives? They’re all ready to share for #archive30 (I hope there’s at least one penguin in the mix)
The Alasdair Gray Archive is a living archive: kept warm through engagement. Meaning grows through access, research, creativity, education and collaboration—inviting new readings and artworks while honouring the past.
