  Workshop overview:

  The workshop “Archives 101: Archival Practice for Indigenous Organizations” will be of interest to Tribal/First Nations Government administrators, archivists, cultural memory keepers, community members, and students working to support and develop Indigenous archives programs. The workshop will provide an introduction to archival theory and best practices that participants will be able to use on a daily basis.

  
  

  Participants will learn:

  - how to create a foundation for developing their archives program and strategies for the practical management and appraisal of records;

  - how to provide collaborative Indigenous and western access protocols;

  - how to process and maintain access to records created on different media formats (textual records, audio-visual, sound recordings and electronic records);

  - best practices for disaster planning;

  - where to find archival resources and different funding opportunities available for Indigenous organizations.

  
  

  Woven throughout the discussion topics will be reflections on how western archival practices can be balanced and integrated to support Indigenous practices and protocols of knowledge sharing.

  Upon registration, participants will be asked to complete a brief survey to identify training interests and questions that will be incorporated into the workshop materials and discussions.

  
  

  Format:

  The workshop will be delivered using Zoom webinar software. Zoom is free to download and links will be provided to participants before the workshop starts. Participants will need access to a computer with sound/speakers to view the PowerPoint training slides and participate in discussions.

  
  

  Workshop Materials:

  Participants will receive copies of the presentation slides and relevant handouts and resources before the workshop starts. It is recommended that participants attend all sessions in order to fully complete the workshop.
