SAA Preservation Section: Seeking Presenters!
The Preservation Section is seeking presenters for short talks (5-10 minutes) on the theme of advocacy for preservation as a core archival value.
Have you played a role in leading preservation projects or programs? If so, we’re interested in hearing about your successes as well as lessons learned in raising the visibility of preservation projects and programs.
Potential topics related to advocacy:
-Funding: Strategies for those seeking grants, donations, and institutional funding.
-Communication: Effective ways to present the results of projects and programs.
-Awareness: Raising public awareness of preservation in the archival mission.
We’re also very interested in proposals for joint sessions with other SAA sections, to explore how to raise the visibility of preservation in relation to other core functions in archival work.
Proposals will be be considered for a session to be held in conjunction with our section annual meeting and for our ongoing series of informal Coffee Chats open to all interested SAA members.
If you’re interested in presenting on these or other topics related to preservation advocacy, please send a brief proposal to:
Peter Botticelli (peter.botticelli@simmons.edu) by February 15. Also, please email me with any questions!
