Hello! This is our Bluesky account for the Archives and Records UK & Ireland Association International Group. We aim to share and connect goings in archives and with archivists and archive enthousiasts. Our little banner friend is called Earthbert!
Archives are about connections and so are we! That’s why we’re introducing an International Coffee Chat as part of this year’s Annual Review Meeting. Alongside updates from the Committee, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with fellow members and take part in guided conversations.
Looking to connect with archivists beyond your own institution or country? Join us for our Annual Review Meeting! ☕ Take part in our first International Coffee Chat to meet colleagues, share experiences, and feel more connected wherever you are in the world! 15 July | 1–2 PM BST
