SAVE THE DATE: Business Archives Council conference 2016, 21st November
Branching out: the rewards and realities of diversifying your service
This year's Business Archives Council conference will be held on Monday 21st November at HSBC, 8 Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London, E14 5HQ.
The aim will be to share, discuss and debate the variety of ways business archives can branch out and become more diverse. Speakers and contributors will cover a wide range of topics focused on the theme of diversity, from moving beyond traditional archive functions to making collections more relevant for the 21st century audience. A range of case studies will consider what practical steps can be taken to make your collection more diverse, with a focus on using volunteers and members of the community to collect, interpret and catalogue.
The conference will be followed by a reception for the presentation of the BAC Wadsworth Prize for Business History, taking place nearby at Barclays, Canary Wharf. All conference delegates are most welcome to attend.
More information about the programme and how to book your place will be made available shortly.
