The Archival Training Collaborative is an IMLS-funded initiative to establish a sustainable program of affordable archival training opportunities for staff and volunteers in historical repositories in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama (and neighbors who want to attend).

To identify people's needs, we created two surveys. Please take the one that suits you best

If you work or volunteer in a historical repository in Alabama, Louisiana, or Mississippi, please take this Survey

If you manage a historical repository in Alabama, Louisiana, or Mississippi, please take this Survey
