Registration Scheme

Introduction

The Society of Archivists encourages Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for archive professionals after qualification. If you have recently qualified you will want to aim towards Registration, through the Society's Registration Scheme.

Since 1987 the Society has maintained a Register of members who possess both professional competence and experience, and have demonstrated commitment to CPD. The only route for members with a professional qualification to become Registered is now through the Registration Scheme, which has been operating since 1996.

See our leaflet 'Employing Archive Professionals', including a section on the Registration Scheme. Download a copy from this page (pdf format).

The Registration Scheme is administered by the Registration Sub-Committee of the Society. The chair of the committee is the Registrar, who currently is Sarah Wickham. Her contact details are included in the Registration Scheme FAQ's.

Information is also available about the Registration Scheme network run by candidates currently on the scheme - see the link on the left.

Registration Scheme enrolment application forms can be found in the Guidance Notes Part 6, please follow the link on the left.
