Looking for presenters! Electronic Records Section + Oral History Section Joint Section Meeting 2022

  • 1.  Looking for presenters! Electronic Records Section + Oral History Section Joint Section Meeting 2022

    Posted May 16, 2022 04:28 PM

    Hello! This year, the Electronic Records Section (ERS) and Oral History Section (OHS) will host a virtual joint section meeting in early August during SAA's 2022 conference. In hosting a joint session, our goal is to encourage dialogue between our members and to reflect on our shared interests and challenges, particularly in the ways that our work has been impacted by a remote working environment and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 

    All section meetings are virtual this year, and does not require registering for the conference, set to take place August 24, 2022 - August 27, 2022. 

    If you are interested in participating in this session, please fill out this form (https://forms.gle/2LCJ3MBEUbkgprC38) with your proposal  for a 10-15 minute presentation.  We are welcoming either live presentations or pre-recorded videos, to be followed by a live moderated Q+A session and/or open discussion, as time allows.

    Potential themes can include, but are not limited to:

    • The impact of COVID-19 and remote work on the creation and management of born-digital content, including oral history projects
    • Managing changes in the process of creating and preserving oral histories remotely 
    • Strategic planning and long-term goal setting for digital objects created with oral histories
    • Archival labor and management of oral history and digital archiving projects
    • Underrepresented communities as focus of oral histories and born-digital collections
    • Post-custodial approaches and projects for oral histories and born-digital content
    • Diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility as core functions of our work
    • Lessons learned from projects completed during the COVID-19 pandemic

    We hope to hear from you soon! Deadline: May 31st
