*CANBERRA *

*15 – 18 0CTOBER 2013*

*ARCHIVES: THE FUTURE*
*Exploring the environment and possibilities for records and
recordkeeping*<http://newsletter.brightlabs.com.au/t/r-l-bpkuut-jhjkjjvlr-u/>

An exciting program of speakers and events is being put together for the
2013 ASA National Conference to held in Canberra in October. The theme of
the conference is *Archives: The Future *focusing on current thinking in
the archival community on reinventing archival methods to meet the demands
of the digital age.

Conference sessions will have three speakers followed by a moderated
discussion where the panel and participants can debate and discuss
issues. A taste of this discussion was seen last week on the Archives and
records Australia Google discussion list, with postings on fulfilling a
vision to create an ‘Australian archival system’ that includes a voice for
the non-government archives sector, looking at lessons from the Canadian
experience and attempts to establish such a framework here. There are a
number of sessions where this issue is likely to be raised and as Chris
Hurely noted, the conference “might be an opportunity to fan the flames a
little” on this question.

Events will commence on Tuesday 15 October with SIG
meetings<http://newsletter.brightlabs.com.au/t/r-l-bpkuut-jhjkjjvlr-o/>and
a tour of Canberra in the morning; and the
*Loris Williams Lecture* and the *ASA Annual General
Meeting<http://newsletter.brightlabs.com.au/t/r-l-bpkuut-jhjkjjvlr-b/>
* and welcome reception at the National Film and Sound Archives in the
afternoon. On Wednesday 16 & Thursday 17 October, the two day conference
will be held at the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House.
On Friday 18 October, three workshops are being offered to participants.

The *conference
program<http://newsletter.brightlabs.com.au/t/r-l-bpkuut-jhjkjjvlr-n/>
* is in a dynamic state as arrangements are finalised with speakers and
topics confirmed. Please check the *Conference page on the ASA
