BOOKING NOW OPEN: BAC CONFERENCE 2017
Change the Record
Business archives contain the records of enduring value of a business. But how are those records changing? How are archivists responding to those changes? Do the changes make capturing and using records more difficult or just difficult in a new way? The BAC’s annual conference will look at how shifts in the technology landscape have impacted records creation and use. Our speakers will examine these issues with views from both a theoretical standpoint, and from the practitioner on the frontline. It’s time to change the record, so come along and see how!
The conference will be held a Harper Collins, 1 London Bridge Street, London on Tuesday 21st November, and will be followed by the Wadsworth prize for Business History.
Further information about the day's programme will appear on the BAC website:
