EAP REGIONAL HUBS NETWORK
EAP is working with a network of regional hubs to co-create and deliver a series of online and onsite training opportunities for institutions, researchers, archivists, librarians and anyone interested in protecting archival material at risk.
To date, EAP has set up five regional EAP hubs across the globe, which serve as a focal point for regional outreach and training tailored to each region’s needs and interests:
- EAP Asia Hub at the School of Cultural Texts and Records at Jadavpur University
- EAP Africa Hub at the National University of Lesotho
- EAP Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Hub at the American University in Beirut
- EAP Latin-American Hub at the Instituto Riva-Agüero at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú
- EAP Caribbean Hub at the University of the West Indies, Mona
EAP webinars and events
To date, we have organised workshops in collections care, conservation, digitisation and digital preservation across all hubs, and we have also organised webinars on how to apply to EAP, audio preservation, cataloguing and metadata.
Here are some of our upcoming training events:
Audio Collections: Creating a Preservation Strategy
Date & Time: May 9, 2024 at 2-3.30 pm UK time / 4-5.30 pm Lebanon time
The safeguarding of sound collections relies on digitisation and digital preservation: migrating at-risk recordings from unstable physical carriers to a stable and permanent digital archive. In this webinar and with reference to the International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives’ (IASA) TC-03, we will explore the role of the sound archive in preservation and the creation of a strategy for digitisation and digital preservation. This webinar will be led by Adam Tovell, Head of Technical Services and Processing at the British Library.
