5 Introduction The field of human sciences reflects the fast-paced, temporal nature of the world we live in. That s why the College of Human Sciences (CHS) sees short learning programmes (SLPs), also known as short courses, as such a valuable component of its academic offerings. The courses it provides to its students are not only diverse but, importantly, current and relevant to South Africans. In an age when protecting the rights of others and the ability to broadcast information to the world is greater than ever, our Centre for Applied Communication and the Department of Communication Science equip our students with the tools they need to succeed, whether that be law, journalism or public relations. Likewise, our Centre for Applied Psychology offers socially conscious short courses on counselling, victim empowerment and self-awareness. In South Africa, developing our communities is one of our key areas of focus. That s why our Centre for Developmental Studies places its spotlight on offerings that will provide its students with the ability to uplift their own and others communities. The English language has become almost a universal one, and we offer courses ranging from creative writing to teaching English to foreigners. But today, practitioners of South Africa s many official languages are just as in demand, which is why we offer courses enabling basic communication in all of them. Our country has certain afflictions that affect it more than most, such as HIV and AIDS. With this in mind, we offer crucial knowledge and information that will equip those keen to make a difference in this regard. Short Learning Unisa

8 Admission requirements: Any National Diploma or B-Degree or an equivalent NQF level 6 qualification Registration periods: January and February Module: Introduction to Archives and Records Management (RMA301A) - 24 Credits This module forms the basis of the course in Archival Studies. It contains the basic information needed to familiarise oneself with archives. Some of the principles introduced here are discussed in detail in other modules. This module can be regarded as a framework for Archives and Records Management. The text has been compiled with the aim of helping the student to master the content of this course as easily as possible. This course therefore aims to give the student, a prospective archivist, the theoretical information and practical skills needed for executing tasks in archives effectively. Module: Archival Principles and Practices (APP301A) - 24 Credits This module aims to provide a frame of reference for the development of the theory of systems of arrangement and classification. Practical guidelines are given concerning the arrangement of paper-based archives and collections. The different stages of sorting are explained so that they can be applied in practice. Arrangement and intellectual control by means of description are explained with regard to audiovisual material, which includes cinematographic material, video material, sound material (such as gramophone records, compact discs and audiotapes) and digital recordings. Finding aids, with special reference to the inventory and the catalogue and their defined structures in archives, are also set out. management systems have been developed as a tool for this purpose. Records management and its implementations and value in the business sector are detailed. The major methods used and the steps taken with regard to the compilation of records inventories and the disposal of records are explained in the section on records management. Modern or present-day requirements regarding the inventory of electronic records legislation and implemented by the National Archives of South Africa. Module: Archival Information Sources and Services (AIS301A) - 24 Credits The module for Archival Information Sources and Services covers a wide range of topics which are of interest to prospective records managers and archivists. It includes information on the various types of archives services offered in South Africa and the rest of the world, and the types of information sources that can be found within these archives. To better understand these archives, this guide also provides the student with the reasons these archives were established. The legal environment in which archives operate is also discussed. Module: Preservation and Conservation of Archival Materials (PCA301A) - 24 Credits Content This module deals with some of the most fundamental aspects of archival studies and of archives. If there were no need for the communication of information from the past to the future, it would not be necessary to record externalised knowledge, or to invent a social agency to collect evidence of transactions, make them accessible to users and preserve them. Without this social need of remembering the past, archives would never have existed in contemporary or past societies. This module has been compiled with the aim of introducing the student to the various types of archival records, their characteristics, and potential use by archives and preservation 8 College of Human Sciences
