ARMA/AABC Joint Conference Apr 24-26

April 24-26, 2008
Harbour Towers, Victoria, BC

AABC has joined with ARMA for a conference that marks the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Crown Colony of British Columbia. Under the theme of "Future Evidence, Past Record," AABC sessions will consider whether a representative record of B.C.'s social, geographical and educational history is being acquired for study in times to come, whether particular social groups have been adequately documented during the 150 years since BC became a Crown colony, and how archivists are addressing a broad heritage mission. In addition, speakers and workshop facilitators will address practical issues relating to program funding, media preservation, and metadata in the context of the archival world. ARMA presenters will cover a variety of topics relating to the legal and evidentiary values of records, gauging your records management program, gaining and maintaining executive support, the Canadian standard for Electronic Records as Documentary Evidence, user-friendly classification systems, and related topics. There will be something for everyone and we look forward to seeing you there!
