Archives provide the raw material of history and can tell a thousand
stories. Creating displays and exhibitions and loaning archive
material for display elsewhere can be an effective way of showcasing
our gems; sharing those stories with a wider audience and promoting
our services and expertise. But how can archivists and conservators
manage the loans process and create effective displays and
exhibitions and often with limited resources?

This introductory course aims to provide conservators and archivists
with an understanding into how to develop, interpret, plan, and
organise small displays to large scale exhibitions; and how best to
manage the exhibition loan process.

We are very keen to encourage conservators as well as archivists to
join this training event, discuss and learn from each other's
expertise and experience.
