Association of Canadian Archivists 2001: Call for Papers



CALL FOR PAPERS
ACA 2001: THE ARCHIVAL ODYSSEY
4 - 9 JUNE 2001

Association of Canadian Archivists
2001 Annual Conference, Winnipeg, Manitoba

What is an odyssey?  A long journey during which the traveller must overcome
obstacles . . . an intellectual quest.  The development of archival theory
and practice and of the archival profession in Canada has been an odyssey of
sorts, with a long and rich history, its full share of obstacles to overcome,
and a wealth of opportunities for professional, institutional, and
intellectual growth.

ACA 2001 brings an opportunity for archivists to explore the archival
odyssey: from where we have been, and how we can bring the lessons of the
past to the challenges of today, to where the technology of the 21st century
is taking us, and how archivists can harness technology's potential to ensure
the continued relevance of archives to our institutions and to our fellow
citizens.  This year's broad theme is intended to attract proposals on any
and all aspects of archival theory and practice, professional issues, and the
Canadian archival system. The Program Committee encourages proposals that
address  issues of importance to the Canadian archival profession,
particularly those that have presented the greatest challenges to archivists
in the past and will continue to do so in the future.

SUBMITTING PROPOSALS:

The conference sessions will be determined on the basis of the proposals
received. The Program Committee encourages individuals to submit completely
developed session proposals, including the confirmed participation of the
speakers.  The proposal form will be available in the ACA Bulletin and on the
ACA Website (www.aca.archives.ca).  Submitting your session proposal in
electronic form is strongly encouraged.

THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS IS 30 SEPTEMBER 2000.

Session proposals and any questions concerning the conference program should
be sent to the 2001 Program Chair:
