These new offerings will be standalone trainings focused on individual modules of the ArchivesSpace application.  Details about this new program and how to register will be made available next week.

ArchivesSpace 8th Annual Member Forum
Registration is now open<https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/3128066258/ArchivesSpace+Member+Forum+2022> for the 8th Annual ArchivesSpace Member Forum!
Just as in previous years, this will be a free opportunity for staff from ArchivesSpace member institutions to meet and share information with each other and the program team about all things ArchivesSpace.
We will be holding a half-day, in-person member meeting on August 24, 2022, in the Commonwealth Room on the third floor of the Sheraton Boston Hotel.  In addition to this in-person meeting, we will also hold two virtual workshops on August 30-31, 2022.
These free events are a chance for ArchivesSpace members to come together to highlight the work they are doing in ArchivesSpace, show off new plugins or tools they’ve developed, and attend instructional sessions and discussions on a variety of topics. As with our previous Annual Member Forums, it is being held in conjunction with the Society of American Archivists annual meeting, but it is not part of SAA and does not require registration for the SAA Annual Meeting.
