2006 ACA INSTITUTE
Archives in the Wake of Hugh Taylor: Shaping Archival Programmes for
the 21st Century
Leaders are Terry Cook & Tom Nesmith
Monday, June 26 & Tuesday, June 27 from 9:00am to 4:30pm each day
Drawing on Taylor's imaginative insights and on the work of many others,
the Institute will provide an overview of how archiving could be
conceived and done in new ways. The Institute will focus on 4 "bridges"
or "probes," as Taylor might have also called them:
1) On what new understandings of archival work can we drawn to shape our
programmes more effectively for the varied challenges we face?
2) What's next for the pivotal function of appraisal?
3) Where might we go with both the new thinking about and new
opportunities for description?
4) How can we kick-start practical electronic archives programmes to
bring archives more fully into the computer age?
