Archaeological Archives as a Resource: Creation,Curation and Access
Venue: Royal Irish Academy, Academy House, 19 Dawson Street, Dublin
Date: Thursday 23 February, 9.30 am - 6 pm
It is recognised that the process of excavation is destructive and
described as the ‘preservation by record’ of our national heritage.
Excavation records are critical to the continuing knowledge of
Ireland’s past and may comprise paper records, surveys, photos,
drawings, ecofacts, artefacts and reports. Current legislation
requires that artefacts are deposited with the National Museum of
Ireland. What happens to the remainder of the archive? This one-day
conference explores this important question. Focusing on the paper
archive, it proposes that archaeological archives are a crucial
national heritage resource, worthy of continued curation, which should
be accessible to all researchers of Ireland’s rich past. One of the
outcomes of the conference will be the first policy document on best
practice in archaeological archives in Ireland.

Otherwise I try to capture all thoughts in the mindmap. Everything else
