SCA Annual Members Meeting

36-aspect-ratio-940-400

Date & Time: Thursday 3 September, Webinar 11:00-12:30 (AMM 12:30:13:00)

The Covid-19 pandemic is having an unprecedented impact on all aspects of the lives of people across the globe. In these challenging and historic times, the record keeping community is acutely aware of the importance of capturing and preserving a record of this rapidly evolving situation.

In a few short months, we’ve seen a vast array of imaginative and engaging collecting projects emerge, alongside new challenges. SCA are pleased to invite members to join us for presentations from speakers discussing collecting in the Covid-19 context, preceding the formal Annual Members’ Meeting.

This year’s Annual Members’ Meeting will be a little bit different, for obvious reasons. It will, however, still be an opportunity to hear directly from our Chair, Trustees and those responsible for delivering our vision of leading Scotland’s archives and records management community to inform and inspire the nation.

Registration: Please complete this short form to register. Members wishing to attend both the webinar and AMM, or just the AMM, please use this form. Joining instructions for Zoom will follow.
