Due on Friday: Call for Proposals | ArchivesSpace 2026 Virtual Member Forum
Bailey-Grace Harrell
Taking place March 25-26, 2026, our Virtual Member Forum will be a two-day event spanning a variety of time zones and ArchivesSpace experience levels.
We welcome presentations or discussions addressing any aspect of your institution’s ArchivesSpace use. The following ideas are provided to assist with brainstorming, but are not meant to limit proposal topics in any way:
-
Small Changes, Big Impacts: implementation of plugins, tools, or new workflows to make work in ArchivesSpace more efficient
-
Half-Baked: share your in-progress work in ArchivesSpace
-
Show Off Your Instance (lightning talks encouraged)
-
Adventures in Bulk Updating: workflows, tools, and tips for data migration and cleanup projects
-
Doing Enough with Less: addressing challenges of limited resources, whether collections staff, funding, IT support, etc.
The following presentation formats are encouraged, although you can propose additional formats in your proposal submission:
-
Presentations: There can be a standalone presenter or more than one if the topics are related.
-
Discussions: Typically scheduled for the second day of the forum.. This would require a moderator. A discussion session should include panelists and/or guided questions to facilitate discussion.
-
Lightning talks: 5-7 minute presentations, with collective Q&A after the final talk of the session has concluded
Please keep in mind that we plan to record most of the sessions and upload them to the Virtual Member Forum wiki page.
Thank you for considering submitting a proposal. We’re looking forward to a great event, with your help!
