Twenty-first century archivists and librarians, information scientists and documentalists, preservation administrators and conservators, and museum professionals share a common rich enterprise of managing information. Yet the fields of each through time have included work that others stake as their province. Consequently through the centuries this shared heritage often has been honored in rivalry grounded
? in the different purposes archivists and librarians, museum curators and administrators, information scientists and documentalists, and preservation administrators and conservators have claimed as their work,
? in the different traditions of practice grown up to deliver the special contribution of each field to society, and
? in the education appropriate to practicing in each tradition.
We invite proposals for papers for this international conference to explore work in progress, theoretical perspectives, and needs and opportunities for research in the broad area of the history of the shared, conflicting, and complementary heritage of archival enterprise with these related fields.
Proposals for papers should be made in the form of abstracts of 500-750 words.
Please submit proposals as an RTF e-mail attachment to Professor Patricia Galloway, School of Information, University of Texas at Austin, at: ichora6@ischool.utexas.edu.
Deadline for submission of proposals is Monday, December 12, 2011.
Announcement of papers to be included on the program will be made no later than February 3.
