[Candrama] Association of Canadian Archivists' Call for Papers

[Kathryn Harvey]

Colleagues,

As President and President Elect of the Association of Canadian 
Archivists (ACA), we warmly invite you to consider submitting 
presentation proposals for our annual conference, which will be held in 
Ottawa June 8-10, 2017 at the Marriott Hotel (100 Kent Street). The ACA 
is Canada’s national association of archivists, information 
professionals, and archival institutions. Archivists and archival 
institutions strive to ensure that Canada’s documentary heritage is 
acquired, preserved and made accessible for all Canadians to learn about 
our past for the benefit of the future. The community of archivists in 
Canada is seeking new voices and views from other professional arenas to 
help shape the future of the archival profession.

The theme for the 2017 ACA Conference is “Archives, Disrupted”; it will 
explore how archivists and archival institutions progress, change, and 
persevere in response to disruptive forces which may arise from outside 
or from within.  Conference sessions will discuss how the archival 
endeavour can emerge strengthened from the effects of disruptive forces 
and define a new path that is relevant and valuable to archival 
professionals, institutions, users and stakeholders.  We welcome 
presentation proposals from allied professions in the many fields such as:

·           digital humanities
·           digital forensics
·           computer science
·           big data
·           information security
·           open access
·           library science
·           public policy
·           information governance
·           public history
·           Canadian history
·           Theatre
·           Creative arts
·           Digital arts
·           Literary arts
