Northern Region and International Section

Regional Archive bodies in the UK and Europe: three examples

Speakers: Pilar Campos Martinez, Dr Michael Ruprecht, David Mander

Monday 1st September, 14.00pm to 15.40pm, Online via Teams, Free to attend

The ARA’s Northern Region and International Section are pleased to be collaborating with regional archive bodies in Catalonia and Saxony to present a comparative session on regional groupings in three countries.

It is also an opportunity to promote contact between archivists, conservators and records managers within Europe. The ARA welcomes members from outside the UK – if you are interested, please follow this link https://www.archives.org.uk/international-hub

To the best of our belief, this is the first time a session on this topic has taken place in the UK. This is an online session and will be conducted in English. We anticipate participation from the UK, Spain and Germany. Please note, timing on the programme is given in UK summer time.

Places will be limited to 50 delegates. To book your place contact Paul Stebbing: PaulStebbing@barnsley.gov.uk
