May 19, 2021 - Media Archiving and Research as a Career

This workshop will look at employment in moving image archives. What training opportunities are there for the archivist and researcher, both corporate and freelance?

The panel will offer insights though their experience and knowledge of the career opportunities, in what is….after all…an expanding sector.
