Education Opportunities and Workshops
The AABC provides fundamental level courses, based on a prepared curriculum, to assist individuals working in community archives to gain a basic knowledge of archival work, using Canadian archival standards.
These courses are also of interest to individuals who are responsible for records management and/or providing reference service for their institution and the general public. The AABC does not provide in-house training for individual repositories, but it can advise on options available for archives planning staff training and does respond to requests for courses initiated by interested groups.

This two-day workshop will introduce participants to the key components of digitizing analogue archives, including: writing a digitization policy, determining roles and responsibilities in sustaining a digitization program (not just a project), how to choose file formats and storage media.
Special attention will be paid to audio and photographic records. Additionally, participants will learn about the types of metadata they should capture and will look briefly at four metadata schema: Dublin Core, EAD, PREMIS, and METS. Finally, the idea of the trusted digital repository will be introduced and there will be demonstrations of some examples of digital repository software.
Participants will be asked to complete a visioning exercise at the start, midway, and at the conclusion of the workshop.
