Energy-efficient buildings (MAPLE meeting)
24 July 2019, 10:00–15:00
Herefordshire Archive and Record Office, Hereford
This MAPLE visit will look at the experiences of the Herefordshire Archive and Records Centre (HARC) staff in designing and working in a building which adopts a passive approach to environmental control. The building opened in 2015 so this is an opportunity to reflect not only on the initial challenges to be overcome but also the ongoing impact of carrying out typical collection management tasks and providing services to visitors in an energy-efficient building.

DCDC Conference 2019
12–14 November 2019
Birmingham Conference and Events Centre (BCEC), Birmingham
Discovering Collections, Discovering Communities is a collaborative conference series hosted by The National Archives, Research Libraries UK and Jisc. Now in its seventh year, DCDC brings together colleagues from across the archive, library, museum and academic sectors to explore shared opportunities, collective challenges, and to discuss how each sector can work more effectively with one another.
DCDC19 will explore the possibilities of the digital shift for collections, audience expectations, and professional practices. It seeks to go beyond recounting the huge change that the digital shift has represented, and to examine possibilities for the future.
