The Southeastern Archives Association and the Society of Georgia Archivists are pleased to share a call for proposals for a virtual summer symposium to be held July 10-11, 2025. This year’s theme is “Note to Self: Find Joy”. The program committee invites proposals for lightning talks (5-10 minutes) on topics related to aspects of your archival practice that bring you joy. We want to hear your success stories!
Potential topics include:
- Successes in the archives
- Connecting archives and communities
- Unexpected connections and learning opportunities
- Your repository’s hidden gems (including materials, events, partnerships etc.)
- Personal archiving (how do you archive your personal life and/or what’s your collection development or deaccession policy)
Tell us a story, but also tell us what you learned. What questions did you answer, what problems 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 March 21st, 2025 at 5:00PM EST.
