Join DRI’s Training Manager and Digital Archivist for an online training session on creating and managing collections in the Repository.

Participants will learn how to:

  • navigate the DRI Workspace to create collections and objects;
  • complete a descriptive metadata record for collections materials;
  • add files to object records, and
  • apply licenses and describe copyright requirements for files.

At the end of the class, participants should feel comfortable using the DRI Workspace to ingest and manage collections, and know where to turn to for guidance and help.
