The Archives and Records Association (UK and Ireland) announces ANTHEA
CASE CBE will make a keynote address to its annual conference on
Friday 2nd September 2016 in London.
Since 2005 Anthea has been the Principal Adviser to the Arcadia Fund,
a U.K. based grant making foundation, which funds endangered nature
and endangered culture (www.arcadiafund.org.uk). In that capacity she
chairs the International Panel which advises on the distribution of
grants through Arcadia's Endangered Archive Programme run by the
British Library. Between 1995 and 2003 she was CEO of the Heritage
Lottery Fund and National Heritage Memorial Fund and until 2010 Chair
of the Heritage Alliance. She currently serves on the boards of a
number of arts and heritage organisations.
Anthea will focus on the questions raised by Arcadia's approach
(preservation rather than conservation) to securing the future of
endangered cultural knowledge, particularly in non western countries.
