Citizenship and Ethics: the role of archives and records management
in nurturing citizenship"

Glasgow 31 August - 3 September 2004
The Society of Archivists 48th Annual
Conference and Conservation Training Conference will take
place in Glasgow between 31 August and 03September 2004.
Its main theme is to investigate the effects of corruption,
and decay, on the record and the roles that we play in ensuring
that high standards of accountability are achieved through
our contribution to record keeping practices - whether we
are conservators, archivists or records managers.
Call for papers and keynote speakers.
The principal themes of this conference include:
- The implications
of the good governance agenda and physical decay on the
quality of the record
- The international and UK experience
of regulatory regimes that affect the creation of the
official record
- New directions for archival
training required by compliance regimes or technological
imperatives
- New requirements for citizenship
in the e-government vision of the future
- How do transparency and the
Freedom of Information Acts help the archivist's cause?
- Professional partnerships across
domains to ensure the delivery of an extended information
heritage - the challenges, the
imperatives and requirements
- Research and training agendas
in the UK and Internationally
- "Born-digital" records
and digitisation of records - where are we being led
and where do we want to
go?
- Life beyond the project- what
is the holistic approach to developing private and public
archives in the coming decade?
Papers are invited on any of these
themes or on related topics. If you wish to submit a paper
for consideration by
the conference committee please supply an abstract of not
more than 250 words to Mrs L M Richmond at GUAS by 28 November
