If you are responsible for historical records at your institution and don’t know what to do with them, this workshop is for you. Archival Boot Camp has five main modules: 1 Records (what are “records” and what are “archives”); 2. Collecting; 3. Arrangement and Description; 4. Preservation; and 5. Reference and Outreach. The goal of Archival Boot Camp is to introduce basic archival education to people who are on the front lines of caring for records but have not had the benefit of formal training. Past Boot Camp participants have included librarians, museum curators, and public historians associated with various clubs, religious institutions, businesses, and social organizations.
- Registration and payment for the Archival Boot Camp must be completed through the NC Connecting to Collections website
