I *know* most of you know this, but also whenever we (TNA) get sector digital capacity feedback the biggest asks tend to be a) free training b) basic/introductory training like Digital Asset Registers c) support with advocacy. It's all there, for free, accessible any time, with reference material.
Great to see the new @dpc-chat.digipres.club.ap.brid.gy prospectus out, which means we can say publicly the next Novice to Knowhow development will be modules on understanding risk: www.dpconline.org/news/dpc-pro.... That mirrors the way we have updated Accreditation with a risk focus.

The Union Chapel is advertising for a part-time archivist - it's a great job for someone. I've spent a lot of time there and the staff are great. The archive starts c.1820 and the postwar sections esp. are crammed with ephemera on all kinds of music and performance.
