Meetings include speakers, visits to institutions, panel discussions and social gatherings. For the past few years the Branch has run an annual workshop on basic archives theory and practice or on conservation, for amateur keepers of records. Members of the Branch include people employed or working voluntarily in government, local government, university, church and school archives as well as members of local history societies and librarians with a special interest in archives. The Branch conducts General Meetings every two to three months. A guest speaker or a visit to an archival or related institution follows a brief business meeting.
Members meet afterwards for nibbles and drinks.
A regular newsletter is sent to all members advertising Branch activities. Anyone interested is welcome to attend. The Branch holds general meetings every two to three months, with Branch Committee meetings held monthly. The General Meetings provide information and a forum for exchange of ideas, usually based around a guest speaker. Meetings are held at various locations and institutions, depending on the focus or purpose of the meeting.
