BAC Conference 2011
Business Archives Sans Frontiéres
This year’s Business Archives Council conference is Business Archives Sans Frontières, to be held on Thursday 10th November at Unilever House, Blackfriars, London. The aim of the conference is to consider the management of international business archives, both the benefits and difficulties of managing records across the world by the business, but also the issues raised by an external organisation, such as a local record office, university or commercial company, managing such archives, often on a business’s behalf. And which is the better option?

10.15 - 10.45 A.G.M
