We offer training to develop skills, knowledge and understanding within the archives sector. Our training sessions are relevant from both an organisational and individual perspective. Please email us if you would like more information about any of our sessions. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, our events and training moved online and some of our events remain digital, alongside our e-learning courses.
Most of our training sessions are free, and bookings are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. If you’re unable to cover the cost of travelling to one of our events, please get in touch and we’d be happy to discuss this. We have a limited number of spaces available at each session. Because of this, please only book if you are able to attend, and contact us if you can no longer attend.

Manorial Documents Register Conference 2022
6 September 2022 (University of Nottingham)
The Manorial Documents Register Conference 2022 will be co-hosted by The National Archives and University of Nottingham’s Manuscripts and Special Collections, and sponsored by The British Association for Local History. 2022 marks the centenary of the Law Property Act that abolished copyhold tenure and, through subsequent legislation in 1924, gave the Master of the Rolls jurisdiction over manorial records. It also marks the completion of 30 years’ work to make the Manorial Documents Register for England and Wales available online. This conference will explore the research potential of manorial records, their wider historical significance and the value of manorial records for the 21st century.

Data Protection Toolkit for Archives
Our Data Protection Toolkit for Archives helps archive staff who are involved in providing access to personal data found within collections. The toolkit was created by Naomi Korn Associates in collaboration with an advisory group of archivists and presents a simplified overview of the statutory, regulatory, ethical and policy essentials in the context of accessing information in archives.
