Dear ArchivesSpace community,
The 2026 ArchivesSpace virtual training schedule is now available at https://archivesspace.org/resources/user-resources/trainings. We’re very excited to be offering 6 virtual training opportunities this year!
ArchivesSpace will be offering four community-wide virtual training offerings in 2026. Each 3-hour training will include a quick start guide for attendees to reference during and after the training as well as immediate access to the recording of the training.
Individuals from ArchivesSpace member organizations are eligible for a $100 discount on training. To receive the discount, follow the link provided and create or login to your MyLyrasis account. Your MyLyrasis account must be affiliated with an ArchivesSpace member organization. This can be accomplished by creating an account or logging into your preexisting account with an email address affiliated with an ArchivesSpace member organization’s email domain. Once logged in, your discount should be applied.
