Shaping Europe’s digital future

eArchiving offers training resources to promote understanding of eArchiving services and simplify long-term access to information.

As digital records proliferate, organisations face increasing pressure to manage their digital archives to comply with statutory and business requirements. These digital archives play a vital role in safeguarding our records: national, regional and local; business and public; social, cultural and scientific; and personal.

To support organisations, the eArchiving Initiative provides specifications, tools and reference software based on international standards for describing, transmitting and preserving digital data.

eArchiving Training

The training will take the form of webinars, face-to-face training sessions and a library of standalone multilingual training resources. Training will target digital archiving skills encompassing short, medium and long-term preservation, concentrating on the E-ARK tools and standards. 

Take a look and get the materials of the eArchiving training sessions on the eArchiving webinars website and the recordings of the past sessions to know more.

eArchiving Curriculum

The eArchiving Initiative has developed a master’s level curriculum that aims to equip students to work as eArchivists/digital preservation specialists in the public or private sectors. The intention is to provide students with the opportunity to critically engage with the technology and techniques at the forefront of eArchiving with particular emphasis placed on the individual’s ability to define, implement, evaluate and reflect on subject-related issues. Technological expertise and critical interrogation within their subject areas will combine to locate successful graduates at the forefront of contemporary eArchiving practice.

If you have any questions about the eArchiving Curriculum, please contact the eArchiving Initiative Support Desk.
