*Online workshop: Archives 101: Archival Practice for Indigenous
Organizations*

The AABC is pleased to present the 2-day workshop “Archives 101: Archival
Practice for Indigenous Organizations”. With the support of the BC Arts
Council <https://www.bcartscouncil.ca/>, there will be two offerings of
this workshop scheduled - Fall 2022 and Winter 2023.

*Workshop overview:*

“Archives 101: Archival Practice for Indigenous Organizations” will be of
interest to Tribal/First Nations Government administrators, archivists,
cultural memory keepers, and 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. Workshop
participants will learn how to create a foundation for developing their
archives program and strategies for the practical management and appraisal
of records. They will learn how to process and provide access to records
created on different media formats (textual records, audio-visual, sound
recordings and electronic records). Workshop discussion will also include
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 and access.
