Training & Events

We provide a programme of events and training throughout the UK and Ireland with content that represents archives, conservation and records management. This includes subjects and themes that our members have identified as being important to their own professional development and career goals.

Our Training programme is extensive and continually innovating. Topics cover all aspects of record keeping and conservation in response to member demand. We offer a host of virtual events, driven by the ARA community (whether regionally, centrally or according to areas of special interest) which are open to both members and non-members. As a member you are entitled to a discount on all chargeable events.

Browse our events listing and sign up to secure a place on the events that suit you.

Members can access training videos and recordings of past events here.
