Bertram Lyons
Dear all,
Reminder
Call for presentations is open for the International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives
49th Annual IASA Conference from 1-4 October 2018, at the Institute of African Studies (IAS), University of Ghana, Accra, Ghana.
Conference theme:
Access and Accessibility - Archival Policies and Barriers in the Age of Global Information Exchange
Open and equal access to information is in high demand, yet may be impeded by social, cultural, and economic barriers. The question of access at the same time encourages discussions on the technical, legal, and practical modes of accessibility.
The program committee for the IASA 2018 conference invites proposals focused on the prospects and limitations of global and local access and accessibility to audiovisual archives, as well as on issues of discovery, care, preservation and dissemination of our sound and audiovisual heritage.
Possible sub-themes include:
- Connecting users, materials, and communities
- Using semantic technologies to aid description and access
- Language diversity and oral history collections – best practices of accessibility
- Digital preservation methods for efficient access
The program will include papers, posters, tutorials, and practical workshops.
Please submit your proposal by using the online submission form at:

*** The deadline for submissions is: 23 February 2018 ***
