A small number of places are still available for the upcoming conference on Memories, Identities and Communities to be held 23-25 April in Dundee, Scotland. Building on previous successful conferences from the Centre for Archive and Information Studies at the University of Dundee, the wide-ranging programme includes contributions from national and international speakers representing 10 different countries. The papers reflect the interdisciplinary interest in the nature of records and their connection with memories and communities. The programme is designed to encourage discussion, debate and participation.

Highlights include:

• Jeannette Bastian on the community in place: landscape, archives and memory
• Participatory approaches to archives and records
• Intervention as radical politics
• Digital records: trust, authenticity and interactions between communities
• The records of the Rwandan genocide
• Preserving public and private memory: everything from home videos to popular music archives and football culture
• Visual representations and archives
• Sue Black, forensic anthropologist, University of Dundee on civil conflict, identity and communities
• Transforming recordkeeping policies and practices
