The AABC invites you to join us for new professional development opportunities in 2026!

Registration is now open for two workshops on digitization hosted by the AABC and presented by Sarah Story. Story is a Manitoba-based archivist who has practical experience in developing and managing digitization and digital preservation programs and projects in community and heritage settings. She is the Archives Advisor for the Association for Manitoba Archives (AMA).


‘Print to Pixel’: An Introduction to Digitization
Date: Wednesday, February 4, 2026 (9:00am - 12:00pm PST)

This introductory workshop covers the fundamentals of digitizing print materials and planning archival digitization projects. Participants will learn the purpose of digitization, project planning basics, and an end-to-end digitization process - from selecting materials to applying standards, workflows, and preparing digital assets for access. The workshop is geared at archivists, community heritage workers, and volunteers with little or limited experience and knowledge of digitization.


‘Bit by bit’: Getting started with Digital Preservation and Managing Digital Objects
Date: Wednesday, February 11, 2026 (9:00am - 12:00pm PST)

This introductory workshop covers digital preservation fundamentals and practical first steps for assessing and managing digital assets for long-term access. Participants will learn the functions of digital preservation and how to understand, document, protect, monitor, and maintain their digital materials. Designed for archivists, community heritage workers, and volunteers with little experience in digital preservation - or those feeling overwhelmed – this session will help clarify priorities and identify achievable first steps toward a digital preservation program.


The cost for each workshop is $90.00 (AABC members); $135.00 (non-members).
