Workshop description:
Frequently, archivists find themselves the position, either by choice or circumstance, of being responsible for managing a repository, staff, projects and/or facilities. While archival education teaches about managing archival and manuscript collections, archival education programs often do not include training to be a manager. This full-day workshop will introduce basic management concepts and tools to better equipped archivist-managers to apply to day-to-day work. Participants will come away with an introductory hands on experience with archives management concepts; ideas on how to apply those concepts in their work as archivist-managers such as managing resources; and knowledge and strategies for continued learning about management in an archives setting.
Who should attend:
This workshop is ideal for anyone who currently manages or would like to manage a repository, staff, programs, projects and/or facilities.
The workshop is limited to 20 participants so please register as soon as possible to secure your spot.
Registration open until October 29, 2019.
