Recordkeepers Unite: ARA meets IRMS (ARA South West)
Speakers: Rob Bath, Dorset History Centre, Viv Cothey and Preservica
Face to Face and Online - Monday 17 June, Great Western Hotel, Taunton, 9.30am to 15.30pm.
Archivists and records managers need to work together to ensure the integrity of our archival record from creation through to future use. But how do we do this?
In this joint training event with IRMS SW we will exploring the following questions:
How can the professions work more effectively together? Who else do we need to work with?
How can we advocate for resources and change within our working contexts?
In terms of digital preservation what do we need to prioritise? What are the best ways of communicating and managing risk?
What communication strategies and skills do we need?
When IT suggests Sharepoint as a records management or digital preservation solution, how do we answer?
How can we ensure that creators understand and know how to make good records? – when they use Office 365 or put everything in the cloud?
Can retention schedules/digital preservation workflows be integrated with Sharepoint/Outlook office?
Do we all need to become digital archivists?
Speakers (full agenda tbc):
Rob Bath ‘Approaches to Retention in Microsoft 365’
Dorset History Centre – Panel discussion
Viv Cothey ‘Digital preservation in the Archive: how to get started, what to focus on, some myths’
