In response to the increased training needs of the ArchivesSpace community and ongoing restrictions to travel, beginning in April of 2021, the ArchivesSpace Trainers Corps will offer regularly scheduled virtual, community-wide training opportunities open to anyone using or interested in using ArchivesSpace.
These virtual, community-wide trainings will be part of a 12 month pilot project by the Trainers Corp to assess community interest and training needs.
Over the next 12 months, the Trainers Corp will offer the scheduled trainings and office hours described below. Registration for each training will be separate and registration will open closer to each training date. Those trainings and office hours with open registration are indicated below.
All Community-wide virtual trainings will be recorded. These recordings can be found via the Getting Started section of the ArchivesSpace website.
Eligibility
During this pilot period, all trainings will be offered at no charge to the attendee and anyone using or interested in ArchivesSpace may attend. Registration for each training or “office hour” will be separate and registration for will open closer to the scheduled date of the event. Registration will be limited to 100 individuals for all trainings and 500 individuals for all “office hours.”
Registration will open to individuals affiliated with ArchivesSpace member organizations via the ArchivesSpace listservs first. After 48 hours, any remaining registrations will be made available to all ArchivesSpace users and will be announced via the ArchivesSpace twitter and blog.
In order to make training available to as many organizations and users as possible, registration will be limited to three (3) attendees per organization for virtual trainings. If more than three (3) individuals from your organization would benefit from a training, email Jessica Crouch at jessica.crouch@lyrasis.org about hosting a training for your individual organization. Registration for “office hours” will not be limited within an organization.
