CALL FOR INSTITUTE AND WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

 

Association of Canadian Archivists

2007 Annual Conference, Kingston, Ontario

21-23 June 2007

 

The ACA is seeking proposals for an Institute and Workshops to be held in conjunction with the 2007 Annual Conference in Kingston, Ontario.  There is no requirement to tie proposals to the conference theme, but proposals which accomplish that tie-in are welcome.  All submissions will be considered on their own merits.

 

ACA Institutes are unique, advanced-level educational opportunities that delve into the complex issues associated with archival tasks through lectures, reading-based group discussions, group-based problem-solving and case study analysis.  Typically, Institute participants have been in the profession for a minimum of five years which enables discussion and group work to be based in work experience more easily.  Institutes run over the course of two to three days with two or more instructors.  In the past, institutes have been scheduled either immediately after or before the ACA annual conference.

 

ACA Workshops provide instruction on focused topics which will enhance any archivist’s skill set.  The Workshops are sometimes delivered with provincial and territorial associations.  Normally workshops are held as half day or full day sessions.  As with institutes, workshops are scheduled closely to the timing of the Annual Conference.
