The National Archives and Research Libraries UK are delighted to be hosting the sixth annual DCDC Conference, the foremost and largest event bringing together professionals working with collections from across the archive, library, museum, heritage and academic sectors.
DCDC18 will explore our theme of memory and transformation. Over three days 68 speakers from 48 organisations, during 25 keynotes, panels and workshops will inspire, discuss and reflect on how past and future memories held within collections impacts on our work, missions, practices, and most importantly, our relationship with our audiences and users.
We are excited to announce that this year we will be joined by two international keynote speakers:
Nathan Sentance is a Project Officer working on First Nations programming at the Australian Museum, was a participant in the 2017 Wesfarmers/NGA Indigenous Arts Leadership program, and is currently the convener of the Australian Society of Archivists, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Special Interest Group. His presentation on 20 November will explore blogging as resistance, and blogging as a method to discuss the role of memory institutions in the destruction, exclusion and misremembering of First Nations culture and history.
On 21 November we will hear from Lae'l Hughes-Watkins, University Archivist at Kent State, where she administers the largest collection on the Kent State shootings. Lae'l's research focuses on outreach to marginalised communities, documenting student activism within disenfranchised populations, and utilising narratives of oppressed voices within the curricula of post-secondary education spaces. Lae'l is also the Founder of Project STAND<https://rluk.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ae16178f19ce6399c5a3bcb7f&id=e15634e164&e=5418447a4d>, a national consortium of nearly forty colleges and universities working to create a digitally centralised location for access to primary resources illuminating the narratives of student activists and organisations from traditionally underrepresented communities. Lae'l is the recipient of the Academic Research Libraries Leadership and Career Development Program fellowship and Society of Ohio Archivist Merit Award for her leadership in Project STAND.
