Community Archives & Heritage Group Conference 2011

A FREE one-day confernce for all involved in community archives

The Community Archives & Heritage Group (CAHG) will be holding its national conference for and about community archives on Wednesday 22 June 2011 .

Telling Your Story: Challenges and Opportunities in 2011

Threats to archive services, localism and the big society: these are some of the challenges and opportunities the sector faces. Telling your story in the midst of change and uncertainty may seem daunting, but how are community archive groups responding? Do we need to find new answers to meet the current situation, or are community archives ideally placed to take advantage of the new opportunities? 

During the day there will be opportunities to hear current work and future plans for how CAHG is helping to tell your story - through our website and through our commitment to hosting regional workshops, an awards scheme and developing an accreditation programme. There will be ample time for discussion and networking.

Join the debate, share common concerns– and be inspired!
