"The practice of consultation in the Netherlands on archiving: What do we do, how do we do it, and what does the future look like?" by Wout van der Reijden, Anna van Lankvelt, Vincent Hoolt and Floris Janssens from the National Archives of the Netherlands, March 28th at 14 (CEST).

Small is beautiful. We often present and discuss larger topics and developments. However, this is not all we do. At the national archives, the team of recordkeeping advises governmental organizations on all kinds of questions related to recordkeeping. These questions and our advisory role are important. This is how information management practices improve. This is how we learn what is needed, and which guidance we should provide.

In this webinar, we’d like to give you a peek inside and showcase some of the advisory cases we handled in the previous year.
