Call for Proposals – SAA 2016: Symposium on Born-Digital Records in Museum Archives (Lightning Round)
Born-Digital Records in Museum Archives at the 2016 SAA Annual Meeting
Location:
SAA Conference Hotel
Atlanta, GA
Wednesday, August 3, 2016, Morning Session
The Museum Archives Section Standards and Best Practices Working Group is holding a half-day symposium on born-digital records in a museum setting at this year’s Society of American Archivists Annual Meeting. We will discuss acquiring, preserving, and providing access to born-digital materials, and consider strategies for successful collaborations with our colleagues in other museum departments.
We are seeking proposals for the lightning round, which will consist of a series of 10 minute presentations by museum archivists focused on working with born-digital records, followed by a Q&A.
If you are interested in participating in the lightning round, please send a brief proposal indicating the scope of your presentation to Ryan Evans at evans.ryan@gmail.com by Friday March 25.
