The full Fall 2024 Archeion Conversations Series description is as follows:
Calling all AAO members: join the Archeion Coordinator for a Zoom training and conversation series every Tuesday at noon from Tuesday, October 8th to November 26th to learn and discuss a variety of topics about the AtoM platform and the Archeion service.
Archeion is Ontario’s Archival Information Network - it is both a directory of Ontario archives institutions as well as a discovery portal for researchers to search across participating institutions’ archival descriptions. Archeion makes use of the Access to Memory (AtoM) archival description platform.
This series will be relevant to any institution using AtoM, even if they do not participate in Archeion. Archives volunteers, interns, students, and new professionals are also encouraged to join - no AtoM or Archeion experience is required.
This conversation series will cover a variety of topics about the practicalities of publishing archival data to the web. The focus will be on using Archeion but the takeaways will be generally relevant to any archives institution publishing their data online. At each session, the AAO’s Archeion Coordinator, Kelli Babcock, will present for 20-45 minutes, depending on the topic, followed by a participatory activity or discussion time. Session takeaways may be added to the freely available Getting Started With Archeion training slide deck for future reference. Portions of the conversations series may also be recorded and uploaded to the AAO’s UA-cam Archeion Playlist.
All skill levels are welcome to learn about Archeion and AtoM. All active Archeion institutions are encouraged to attend. If your institution would like to renew your editor login for Archeion prior to the sessions, please email archeion@aao-archivists.ca.
We hope to see you there!
When: Every Tuesday at noon from Tuesday, October 8th to November 26th, 2024 (no session on October 22nd, 2024)
