International Summer School for Archivists
Archives and Records Management in Banking and Finance
16 - 27 July 2007
Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias, Lisbon
The Summer School for Archivists was a great success, and very positive feedback was received from the participants. The intensive two week course was challenging but rewarding for the 16 participants who attended from across Europe.
The Summer School took place on the premises of the Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias, Lisbon, which is the largest non-public University in Portugal. The University generously hosted the Summer School in their large, modern and well-equipped campus located to the far north of Campo Grande, just a few minutes away from all the main city areas.
Official Certificate of Attendance
Every participant received a Certificate of Attendance, signed by Mr. Jean-Claude Trichet, President of the European Central Bank and Chairman of the EABH, and Dr. Manuel de Almeida Damásio, President of Universidade Lusófona after successfully completing the Summer School.
Programme
The two-week long course consisted of an 8 hour working day and the programme covered a variety of topics from Appraisal to Email Management.
The Summer School was very interactive, and participants were required to prepare a "Plan for an Open Day in a Bank or Financial Archive" using the skills they learned throughout the course.
