Dear colleagues Community Archives and Heritage Group Conference 2009: Sustaining Community Archives Building on the success of its earlier conferences, the Community Archives & Heritage Group (CAHG) is holding a third national conference for and about community archives on Thursday 18 June 2009. The conference will again be held at University College London and is FREE to attend. Lunch and refreshments will be provided. The theme this year will be 'Sustaining Community Archives' and we will be exploring issues that determine sustainability and learning from experts and groups who have achieved sustainable working in areas of conservation, digital cataloguing, copyright issues, and using a community project to promote the community it sits in. There will also be opportunities for networking and finding out about other projects. The key note speaker is Rt. Hon. Ed Vaizey, MP for Wantage and Didcot and Shadow Minister for Culture. A full draft programme is available below. To find out more and book your free place, go to www.communityarchives.org.uk <http://www.communityarchives.org.uk/> . However, do be quick.
