Colleagues,

As President and President Elect of the Association of Canadian Archivists (ACA), we warmly invite you to consider submitting presentation proposals for our annual conference, which will be held in Ottawa June 8-10, 2017 at the Marriott Hotel (100 Kent Street). The ACA is Canada’s national association of archivists, information professionals, and archival institutions. Archivists and archival institutions strive to ensure that Canada’s documentary heritage is acquired, preserved and made accessible for all Canadians to learn about our past for the benefit of the future. The community of archivists in Canada is seeking new voices and views from other professional arenas to help shape the future of the archival profession.

The theme for the 2017 ACA Conference is “Archives, Disrupted”; it will explore how archivists and archival institutions progress, change, and persevere in response to disruptive forces which may arise from outside or from within.  Conference sessions will discuss how the archival endeavour can emerge strengthened from the effects of disruptive forces and define a new path that is relevant and valuable to archival professionals, institutions, users and stakeholders.  We welcome presentation proposals from allied professions in the many fields such as:

·           digital humanities
·           digital forensics
·           computer science
·           big data
·           information security
·           open access
·           library science
·           public policy
·           information governance
·           public history
·           Canadian history
·           Theatre
·           Creative arts
