Business Bites - Modern Collections Development

Collections Development is an ever changing field, particularly in the world of Business Archives. Records that were of essential importance 100 years ago now have little historical value while many of the records being produced now did not exist even 50 years ago. So where do record keepers begin when deciding what to keep and what will have historical value in the years to come?This webinar is a members only event. Only members of the Business Archive Council and Business Archive Council Scotland can attend. To join either organisation, see, https://businessarchivescouncil.org.uk or https://busarchscot.org.uk/This webinar will focus on the experience of the abrdn archive, where a collections development job role has been created to tackle this issue. Mollie Horne, who carries out this role, will discuss her experience since she started in post and how she is working towards ensuring the most complete collection possible is kept to capture the corporate memory.Mollie Horne is the Collections Development Archivist at the abrdn company archive.
