In the second of three talks aimed at sports clubs and societies, Laura Yeoman, Archivist (Access and Engagement) at Explore York Libraries and Archives Mutual Ltd will explain the importance of storing your archives in the right conditions.

By the end of the session you will have a clearer idea of how best to store both physical and digital archives, as well as the risks to long-term storage. The session will also cover physical storage locations, security and common pest problems. No experience is necessary – this talk is aimed specifically at beginners and those without a previous knowledge of, or interest in, history.

Please also see the other two talks in this series:

- ‘Managing Your Sporting Archives: What is an Archive?’ will explain what archives are and why they can be important to sports clubs and societies, as well as what you should look to keep.

- ‘Managing Your Sporting Archives: Using Your Archives’ will cover ways you can use your archives to promote your club, engage with fans and supporters and attract new audiences.
