PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM 2024 #1 :
Selecting and Implementing Archival Systems: experience sharing
The first activity in this year’s program is a talk on archival systems. It will be held on 6 April and is primarily aimed at archivists who are contemplating the need for an archival system as a management tool. Members of the general public who would like to know more about archival systems are also welcome. The two speakers will explain why they have chosen Epexio and ArchivesSpace, respectively and how they have configured those systems to suit their organisations’ needs.
