This is the last chance to register for the ACA@UBC eighth annual Seminars
and Symposium, hosted next week (*February 10-12*) by the Association of
Canadian Archivists student chapter 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 (9:30am-4:30pm).
