What makes an archive and who decides how they are looked after and their value? ⁠ ⁠ Submit your proposals for our open call for contributors to speak at our one-day archive event on Friday 16 April 2027. 'Whose Archive is it Anyway?' is the first in a three-part series of events exploring the future of archives and archiving. ⁠ ⁠ Traditionally, stories of culture and society have been held and told by institutional collections. But what about the everyday material that is hidden, forgotten or displaced outside of these traditional records?⁠ ⁠ We welcome submissions of real-life experiences from people interested in, or already creating, holding and taking care of archives in a non-institutional setting. We're looking for speakers that challenge or answer points related to the future of archives. ⁠ ⁠ Deadline for applications: 1 November 2026⁠ Visit our website for more information on the event and what to include in your proposals.
