"Accountability, Citizenship and Ethics: the role of archives and
records management in nurturing citizenship"
The Society of Archivists 48th Annual Conference and
Conservation Training Conference will take place in Glasgow
between 31 August and 02 September 2004. Its main theme is to
investigate the effects of corruption, and decay, on the record and
the roles that we play in ensuring that high standards of
accountability are achieved through our contribution to record
keeping practices - whether we are conservators, archivists or
records managers.
Call for papers and keynote speakers.
The principal themes of this conference include:
* The implications of the good governance agenda and
physical decay on the quality of the record
* The international and UK experience of regulatory
regimes that affect the creation of the official record
* New directions for archival training required by
compliance regimes or technological imperatives
* New requirements for citizenship in the e-government
vision of the future
* How do transparency and the Freedom of Information
Acts help the archivist's cause?
* Professional partnerships across domains to ensure the
delivery of an extended information heritage - the
challenges, the imperatives and requirements
* Research and training agendas in the UK and
Internationally
* "Born-digital" records and digitisation of records - where
are we being led and where do we want to go?
* Life beyond the project- what is the holistic approach to
developing private and public archives in the coming
decade?
Papers are invited on any of these themes or on related topics. If
you wish to submit a paper for consideration by the conference
committee please supply an abstract of not more than 250 words
to Mrs L M Richmond at GUAS by 5 December 2003. We
hope to publish the papers in due course.
