TENNESSEE ARCHIVES INSTITUTE
The next Tennessee Archives Institute will be held at the Tennessee State Library & Archives in April 2026.
The 2026 Institute will be open to archivists, librarians, and records custodians. This one-and-a-half-day workshop developed around a series of sessions on archival principles and techniques is designed to provide basic-to-intermediate training on archives management, digitization planning and implementation, preservation, public records laws, and peer networking.
Participants will leave the Institute with tools, resources and ideas for their own action plan to enhance access to their collections.
Participants who complete the Institute for three consecutive years receive certification as an Archives Manager from the Tennessee Secretary of State.
An application process is required for attendance!
Enrollment is competitive and limited.
*All applicants must be an employee or volunteer with an organization that holds archival materials.
The 2026 application will be available in January 2026.
