Archives, image and presentation...

Educational archives, corporate image, and presentation techniques…

When staff in an educational archives receive requests from educational administrators for records that can be used to promote an educational corporate image, they may need to consider the administrators’ preferences for different forms of exhibitions as well as the media and information channels that could be used to help build positive public images. Staff in educational archives may also need to consider the possibility that they will need to respond to requests from external advertising or public relations firms engaged by educational administrators to undertake activities related to the promotion of a corporate image.

Archives, image and amalgamations...

Educational archives, corporate image and educational amalgamations…

The amalgamation of different educational institutions to produce a new university, college or school can provide records management staff and archivists with a range of challenges in terms of potential changes to collection storage and control records, but an amalgamation may also result in these staff members being called upon to provide information that will assist administrators with the task of promoting a fresh corporate identity. Educational records may be needed to underline continuing or new strengths in academic or sporting programs, or even changed built and landscape environments as well as expanded social networks.
