I knew this was a wind-up because
a) There were not enough coffee breaks
b) There was no mention of the relationship between paper clip usage
and the problems new archivists are having in finding volunteer/work
opportunities
> * ‘Re-clipping the archive’: a reassessment of the archival continuum
> parallels of the paperclip and its relationship to the ‘hidden record’ *
>
> FDPFR are proud to announce this groundbreaking symposium exploring
> the themes of paper connectivity through the use of brass implements.
> It looks at clipping throughout the ages and the challenges this
> presents.
>
> · How do we understand the archival dynamics between clip and record?
>
> · How do we discover user impartiality when assessing the dislocation
> of memory and identity through inadequate clipping?

> in the digital age?
