On 7 May, we sent out a call for registrations for the Collection Management Course. If you haven’t seen it, have a look here.
We have identified great need for this kind of training in collection management and curation, as courses offered in South African tertiary institutions are either at a postgraduate level, or the content is marginal to what we need or it is very narrow.
We have ensured that the course curriculum aligns with the standards and procedures agreed on by the NSCF community and documented in the NSCF Collection Management and Conservation Manual.
Important to note:
- The closing date for course registrations is Monday, 17 May 2021
- The course is free of charge
- The course will start with the first webinar on Wednesday, 19 May 2021
- We anticipate that the course will take 18 months to complete, so it should end by the end of 2022
- We will host a Q&A session about the course on Tuesday, 11 May 2021
- You will be awarded with a certificate upon completion of the course.
