Contributors'
training

 

Jane, Lisa and Beth from the Archives Hub team organise training for Archives Hub contributors and potential contributors.

"Beth and Lisa were warm and friendly and extremely helpful."

"very relevant and excellently taught - perfectly pitched"

“As a general introduction to Archives Hub it was invaluable. The opportunity to be taken through the process of inputting data was great."

“This was excellent as an introduction to the Hub. It was great to hear all about the developments happening. I need to get my collections on the Hub ASAP! Thank you.”

“Really useful and engaging.”

"This was a fantastic workshop - excellently designed resources, Lisa and Jane were really helpful (and patient!). The hands-on aspect was really useful: I now feel quite confident about creating EAD records for the Hub, and even more confident that the Hub team are on hand with online help."

…this is just a snapshot of the great feedback from contributors and potential contributors after our contributors’ workshops.

We held Hub workshops in Sheffield, Manchester, London, Oxford, Glasgow and Cardiff in 2011 and will be holding more in the late spring/early summer of 2012.

The workshops give contributors and potential contributors the chance to learn how to use our new EAD Editor to create collection-level and multi-level descriptions and how to link to digital content to add value to Archives Hub descriptions.

The workshops include the opportunity for hands-on training. As the workshops include hands-on places are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

We will announce where workshops will be held in 2012 but if you have a group of staff or a project group of staff from several institutions that are interested in contributing to the Hub and learning how to use the EAD editor, then we can also come to you and provide workshops.
