Assuring Access in Alabama Archives
2014 Society of Alabama Archivists (SALA) Conference
Date: November 14, 2014
Place: University of Montevallo, Montevallo, Alabama
In preparation of the 2014 meeting in Montevallo, Alabama, the Society of
Alabama Archivists seeks presentation proposals. The theme of this year’s meeting
is “Assuring Access in Alabama Archives.” You may address this theme in topics
that can include, but are not limited to:
Preservation * Arrangement and Finding Aids
Outreach Initiatives * Digital and Social Media Technologies
Surviving Lean Fiscal Years * Disaster Preparedness and Recovery
Hidden Collections * The Future of Archives
Sessions are typically about 50 minutes in length, including Q&A, and include 2-3
presenters. This year we are also considering adding one or more “lightning round”
sessions of up to 5 presenters, speaking 5 minutes each, with the rest of the time
allotted for Q&A and discussion. For session proposals please include title, brief
description, and the names of the organizer and each presenter with affiliation and
contact information. For individual presentations please submit the same
information listed above. A session will be created from individual papers.
We also seek proposals for one or more sessions that will include presentations by
students. We also encourage students to create posters on research projects or
activities for a poster session and display.
Please submit session and individual proposals to Rebekah Davis
(lcarchives@knology.net) by September 5, 2014.
