Cultural Heritage Archives: Networks, Innovation & Collaboration
A Symposium at the Library of Congress
Sept. 26-27, 2013
The American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress will hold a symposium entitled
Cultural Heritage Archives: Networks, Innovation & Collaboration on Sept. 26-27, 2013.
The symposium is free and open to the public. Cultural heritage archives serve as
valuable repositories of memory and knowledge that document the ongoing community-based
creativity of individuals and groups. During the past decade, there has been an
increasing acknowledgement of the value and power of developing such archives at all
levels, from very local and informal collections to large national and international
repositories.
The Cultural Heritage Archives symposium aims to energize the discussion of ethnographic
archival thought and practice by presenting fresh and dynamic strategies for
contemporary archival realities. It will also provide a forum for new voices to present
and discuss emerging archival initiatives as well as case studies focused on several
key topics for a public audience. The symposium will combine longer presentations by
invited speakers with short papers generated through this call.
Symposium Sessions:
* Session I: Users of Cultural Heritage Archival Materials
* Session II: Preservation and Digital Stewardship
* Session III: Archival Description
* Session IV: Education and Training
* Session V: Sharing Resources
* Session VI: Forging Archival Collaborations and Alliances
