DRAAG will be hosting a half-day workshop on the many ways that small archives can use social media to increase their profile and reach new and different audiences.

The workshop will feature the pros and cons of the most popular social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and Pininterest. The workshop leaders will highlight how these platforms can work for your site and will also work with participants to set up accounts for their sites.

The workshop will be held on April 15 from 1 pm until 4 pm at the downtown campus of UOIT, Oshawa.  The building is located at 61 Charles Street, across from the General Motors Centre.  Parking is available at the Mary Street parking garage.

Cost is $15 per participant. Pre-registration is necessary.  To register please email archivist@oshawamuseum.org or archives@porthope.ca on or before April 10, 2013.
