We’re thrilled to support the 14th annual Seminar and Symposium, Archives Unbound: Redefining Archival Concepts and Practice by the Association of Canadian Archivists Student Chapter at the University of British Columbia (ACA@UBC). This event will be held virtually on Zoom on Friday, February 10th and Saturday, February 11th, 2023. Register today!
About this Event
This two-day virtual event brings together students, scholars, and practitioners whose work challenges dominant archival paradigms, and who reimagine and redefine archival concepts and practices. In addition to panels on records and archives that fall outside Eurocentric definitions, this event will facilitate conversations around digital archives and the ethics of digitization, archiving current events, archival businesses, and archival commitments to Truth and Reconciliation. Through virtual discussions and presentations, speakers at the ACA@UBC Seminar and Symposium will unbind our conceptions of what archives are, what they can be, and how they can be developed and cared for.
Registration is open now and it is open to the public (and free for students!), aimed at IM professionals.
