TRAININGS & WORKSHOPS

ArchivesSpace is now offering community-wide, virtual training.  These new offerings will be standalone, single session trainings focused on individual modules of the ArchivesSpace application.  

Based on the feedback from attendees from our year-long community-wide training pilot, we will be implementing the following:

  • Class size will be capped at 50 participants.
  • Each attendee will be provided a workbook and example exercise data to continue learning after the training.
  • Training will be offered for a fee of $50/training for ArchivesSpace members and $150/training for non-members unless otherwise noted.
  • Training will be recorded.  Attendees will have access to the recording immediately following the training.  Others will be able to access the recording from our YouTube channel at a later date.

These virtual trainings will be open to anyone using or interested in ArchivesSpace.  If you qualify for the member discount, you will need to reach out to ArchivesSpaceHome@lyrasis.org to receive a member promo code before registering.
