Welcome to DiGI training!

In this module, you will be introduced to the idea of an inventory. An inventory is how you will sort and organize your archival collection. In this case, we will focus on inventories for audio-cassette tapes.

The main topics of this module include what is an inventory spreadsheet and what sorts of information you will record in your spreadsheet.

For a more in-depth look into how to acquire and add materials into your collections, feel free to browse through our article on Archival Acquisition as a bonus: https://firstvoices.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DIGI/pages/1278195
