Archival Affinities. Adapting and Adopting Archival Cultures.
Second International Conference on the History of Records and Archives
(I-CHORA 2), Amsterdam, 1-3 September 2005
Call for Papers 19-12-2003
The University of Amsterdam and the Archiefschool, the Netherlands
Institute for Archival Education and Research, are jointly organizing the
Second International Conference on the History of Records and Archives
(I-CHORA 2), to be held September 1-3, 2005 in Amsterdam. The first I-CHORA
took place in Toronto, October 2-4, 2003 (see
http://www.fis.utoronto.ca/research/i-chora/home.html).
The theme of the conference is “Archival Affinities. Adapting and Adopting
Archival Cultures.” The conference will focus on intercultural and
cross-national influences on record-keeping and archival theory, the
dissemination and reception of theories and ideas on archives and
record-keeping etc. Topics within this framework include:
* recordkeeping by colonizers and colonized, occupants and occupiers,
etc.
* post-colonial and post-communist recordkeeping in relation to former
recordkeeping regimes
* merging of indigenous and foreign theories, methodologies and practices
* national influences on recordkeeping of international and multinational
governmental and non-governmental organizations
* records professionals and recordkeeping systems immigrating into other
countries and cultures
* cross-national networks of records professionals and archivistics
scholars and their impact on globalization of archival systems, theories
and cultures
We invite proposals for papers for I-CHORA to explore work in progress, and
present completed research on the history of record-keeping, archives
management, and the development of archival theory and methods, in any time
frame in any geographical area within the scope of the conference theme. We
encourage cooperation between researchers from different countries to carry
out original research within the conference theme.
Proposals for papers and projects should be made in the form of an abstract
of 750 words. The working language of the conference is English. Proposals
in Dutch, French, German, Spanish, and Italian are accepted, but the final
paper should be in English.
We anticipate that selected papers from the conference will be submitted
for peer review, to be published in a special issue of Archival Science.
Please submit proposals as an e-mail attachment to Peter Horsman,
Archiefschool [log in to unmask]
The deadline for submission of proposals is April, 1, 2004
The organising committee, consisting of Eric Ketelaar, Agnes Jonker, and
Peter Horsman, will meet in April to finalise the draft programme.
Proposers may expect to hear from us no later than May 1, 2004.
The conference will include one poster-session, where work in progress in
the field of the history of records and archives but not fitting the
conference theme can be presented.
