A friendly reminder that the Call for Proposals for the joint annual meeting of the Midwest Archives Conference and Society of Ohio Archivists closes at the end of business on October 17, 2025. The meeting, scheduled for May 14-16, 2026, will be in Columbus, Ohio and the theme is Find it Here! For more information about the conference, please see the conference website.
The Program Committee encourages submissions from newer professionals, first-time presenters, and colleagues from non-academic institutions. A MAC or SOA membership is not required. Presenters may submit more than one proposal but may present only one session OR poster. We also encourage those from smaller shops to submit presentations for a focused SOA track. We want to hear from the solo archivists or from those with more limited institutional support! For a list of possible topics and details on the proposal process, please view the MAC/SOA 2026 Call for Proposals website.
To facilitate collaboration among those brainstorming session ideas, the Program Committee encourages use of the MAC Facebook page, SOA Facebook page, and this spreadsheet for brainstorming session proposal ideas.
The deadline for submitting session proposals for the 2026 MAC / SOA Annual Meeting is October 17, 2025, at 5 pm CST. Use the Call for Proposals form to submit your proposal. There will NOT be an extension to the call, so make sure to get your proposals in by the deadline.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
