The ACA at UBC, the University of British Columbia Student Chapter of the
Association of Canadian Archivists, is delighted to invite you to its
eighth annual Seminar and Symposium, held on *February 10-12, 2016 *at the
University of British Columbia. The theme of this year’s event is “*Preserving
Liquid Communication,” *with a focus on the preservation of informal
communications generated in cloud environments through the use of social
media. Archivists, records managers, and other information professionals
will discuss the nature of social media output, the identification of what
should be preserved, methods of preservation and provision of access, and
legal issues related to intellectual rights, privacy, right to be
forgotten, and more. Speakers will discuss these matters informally with
attending professionals, students, and professors at the Seminar on
February 10 and 11 (10:00am-4:00pm). The Symposium, featuring formal
presentations from speakers, will be held on February 12 (9:00am-5:00pm).
