The Southeastern Archives Association and the Society of Georgia Archives are pleased to share a call for proposals for a virtual summer symposium to be held June 14, 2024. The theme this year is also the format: Lightning Talks. The program committee invites proposals for 5-10 minute talks on topics you find interesting and electrifying. 

Potential topics include:

Disabilities in archives (staff and patron perspectives)

Instruction innovations

AI and archives

Food history in archives

Science, technology, and agriculture and Archives

Tell us a story, but also tell us what you learned. What question did you answer, what problem did you solve, and what advice would you give to someone else in the same position? The committee welcomes proposals from anyone involved with archives, including archival staff, new professionals, students, and allied professionals. We encourage potential presenters to consider how their proposed session will support the SGA Statement on Diversity and Inclusion.

Proposals can be submitted through the online submission form. The deadline for proposal submissions is April 15, 2024.
