Call for Papers
The International Council on Archives Section on University and Research Institution Archives (ICA-SUV)
is pleased to announce its annual conference for 2024.
The conference, titled What Does Diversity Mean to You?, will be held at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, 7-9 October, 2024. This will be an in-person conference.
This conference presents an opportunity for reflective discussion about many aspects of diversity work among its varied cultural and geographical contexts.

This theme is inspired by the clear interest in such discussions voiced by participants during our 2023
