[Hum-DIS] Message for Archives students in Sydney

[Diane Veness]

I have attached an extract of the NSW Branch of the Australian Society 
of Archivists Inc newsletter. It contains details of their next branch 
meeting to be held on 18/4/2007 at the Sydney Records Centre. They have 
invited distance education students to attend the meeting. (The 
invitation has been sent directly to students from Murdoch and Edith 
Cowan Universities.) I have been asked to forward this message to any 
Sydney-based distance students of archiving from Curtin.

Please respond directly to Angela McGing ( 
amcging at cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au <mailto:amcging at cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au> 
) by Wednesday 11 April if you want to attend. Sorry for the late 
advice, and I hope to meet you there.

*APRIL MEETING – MEET THE ARCHIVES STUDENTS*

**

The next Branch meeting will be on Wednesday 18 April 2007, at 5.30 for 
6.00pm.

Venue: Sydney Records Centre (State Records Authority of NSW) 2 Globe 
St, The Rocks.


This will be an opportunity for Branch members to meet Sydney and NSW 
based students who are undertaking distance-learning studies to obtain 
archives qualifications. The meeting will be an informal event, to 
introduce students to the ASA NSW branch members and to discuss how we 
can assist with networking and professional development opportunities. 
The meeting will also provide an opportunity for us to find out more 
about what the students want or need, such as mentoring, access to 
professional literature, or field work placements. Also, some at the 
meeting could turn out to be future employers or employees!

Some of us will be going to dinner afterwards, and you are most welcome 
to join us for that as well.

Students who are planning to attend: please RSVP to Angela McGing ( 
amcging at cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au <mailto:amcging at cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au> 
) by Wednesday 11 April.

Sue McKemmish (Monash) and Karen Anderson (Edith Cowan) have e-mailed al 
current and recent students advising them of the meeting.
