 Introduction
CIDOC,
the ICOM International Committee for Documentation, in collaboration with the
Museum of Texas Tech University, is planning an innovative programme of
training seminars: the CIDOC Summer School.
Intended
both for experienced museum personnel and for newcomers to the field of
museum documentation, the programme brings together established experts -
members of CIDOC and university faculty - with documentation professionals
seeking guidance and training. The CIDOC Summer School will take place
annually, at different locations, and will be given in one of the three main
ICOM languages (English, French and Spanish). Other languages and locations
may also be arranged on demand.
The
programme aims to be both comprehensive and accessible. The courses are
conceived as a series of interrelated modules, allowing participants to
tailor the curriculum to their individual needs and interests. Both basic and
advanced level topics will be offered, leading to a certificate on successful
completion of the core programme.
CIDOC
will be working in close partnership with related organisations to ensure
quality and consistency but also to make sure that the programme responds to
evolving real-world requirements.
