Announcing ICA’s new online “Managing Digital Archives” course!
The ICA is joining the celebration of the World Digital Preservation Day on November 4thth with the launch of its online training course “Managing Digital Archives”. The course provides a thorough grounding in the management of archives in digital format, from selection and ingest, description and metadata management, to preservation techniques and access provision. It aims to provide learners with the knowledge to develop the infrastructure to manage their digital archives now and to provide contemporary access, as well as preserve them over time to ensure their survival and access in future.
The course is an intermediate level course and learners should be familiar with the principles and practice of managing archives in physical formats. It is designed primarily to help those without prior experience in digital archives, who are computer-literate and have a basic understanding of the potential and implications of information technology for archives management.
“Managing Digital Archives” was developed by Nancy McGovern, former chair of ICA’s Digital Records Expert Group and Margaret Crockett, ICA’s Training Officer, with contributions from Kari Smith, Institute Archivist MIT and Pauline Soum-Paris, Project Archivist at the Bodleian Library, Oxford. The course includes sections on: collecting, ingest, preservation, infrastructure, access and stewardship. It will be available in English and French and has been translated by David Rajotte with Claude Roberto providing the narration.
This course has been designed in response to demand from ICA membership for training in digital archives management to give interested professionals worldwide the confidence to build digital archives management capacity in their organisations.
Costs for the online course:
· for ICA members €189
· for non-members €255
