Practical advice, guidance, and examples of the effective use of social media – for community archives and groups.
Social media is one of our most powerful tools for sharing our archives and stories, but the social media companies don’t make it easy.
We will cover how we can take advantage of how social media works to reach more people, how to choose the right channel/s for your archive, how to decide what content works for you, formats you can copy from other archives, and some principles that will save your sanity. By the end of the session you will have a better understanding of how to communicate your archive on social media, a better idea of how to reach your audiences with the finite time/effort at your disposal, and some inspirational case studies you can pinch ideas from.
