  • 1.  A List of Free Webinars to Get Us Through 2020

    Posted Oct 13, 2020 04:30 PM
    Dear Colleagues,
    I've released a list of webinars to help Library, Archives, and Museum (LAM) professionals get through the rest of 2020. The webinar topics are: reimagining archival outreach, grant writing, creatively delivering collections to communities, and effectively attracting and training volunteers. These are all free to attend. Details can be found here: https://rachaelcristine.com/2020/10/12/a-list-of-webinars-for-the-remainder-of-2020/

    And just in case there's another link issue, there should be no characters or symbols after "2020/" in the link.

    Accessibility:
    Webinars are delivered via YouTube premiere and auto-captioning is provided for the recording. A link to the webinar recording is provided a day after the premiere to all who registered. Questions can be submitted ahead of time via a form on the registration page, emailed directly to me, or using the YouTube chat box during the premiere. 

    Questions can be sent to: consulting@rachaelcristine.com.

    Thank you and be well,
    Rachael

    Dear Colleagues,

    Registration is now live for:

    November 5: Ask Me Anything: Grants Edition

    Abstract: When you think of grant writing what comes to mind? For my clients it's usually a feeling of overwhelm as you juggle the need for grant money with the intense pressure to craft a winning grant proposal. And unfortunately 2020 has only increased the level of competition as every library, archives, and museum struggles to keep financially afloat. If ever there was a time to get good at grant writing--it's now. So what grant writing roadblocks are in between you and writing grants with confidence? Tell me what they are and let's get into it.

    November 12: Breaking with Tradition: Creating Connections in the Archives with New Types of Access
    Presented by Rachael Cristine Woody with Bridgett Kathryn Pride

    Abstract: When the general public is introduced to the archives it's often an intimidating experience. Our ceremony of white gloves, use of expensive boxes, and enforcement of heavily restricted collections access all serve to intimidate and dissuade new users. Whether we intend to or not, archivists are sending the message that they are the gatekeepers of the collection and only "serious business" can be conducted with the collections. So, how do we break that messaging down? How can we serve up the collections in a way that is not only inviting, but inspirational? Rachael Woody is teaming up with Bridgett Kathryn Pride to talk about breaking down archival barriers, empowering novice users, and creating points of access to collections through artful guidance.
