The BACS Conference 2017 will
be held on Thursday 2nd November at WEST Brewery, Glasgow.
Organised by the Business Archives Council of Scotland (BACS), the event will celebrate 40
years of the Surveying Officer. Hosted at WEST Brewery, Glasgow, the former home of the Stoddard-Templeton carpet factory, just one example of the many business archives the
Surveying Officer has been involved in preserving.
The conference will explore the past, present and future success of the role, as well as its impact on the business archives sector to date.
Talks will focus on how collections have been used, the history of the role and its place in the wider business heritage landscape, as well as how surveying
can help you and how to carry out a practical survey.
