This year’s 5th annual ACA@UBC International Seminar and Symposium explored different technologies along the records lifecycle and examined how they have come to influence the way records are being created, retained and ultimately preserved for current and future generations of archivists, records managers, and users. The Symposium provided an excellent opportunity for experts, visiting professionals, and students to discuss and explore the different types of technologies available to them today, as well as the different challenges that these same tools present to current and future users.
For the 4th ACA@UBC Annual International Symposium, we assembled an eclectic and innovative group of speakers whose talks helped us navigate the future of personal archives and "Unpack the Digital Shoebox." We invited them to create presentations that challenge as well as inform--presentations that prompt and inspire, allowing our profession to develop the tools and methodologies needed to go forward.
Inspired by current issues in social media, the web, and mobile communications, which are producing a documentary heritage quite different from the traditional one, the Association of Canadian Archivists UBC Student Chapter (ACA@UBC) organized a seminar and symposium aimed at opening an interdisciplinary dialogue among the custodians of the world documentary heritage about the preservation of its newest forms and expressions. The topic, "The Law of Unintended Consequences: The right to be forgotten, the duty to remember," was relevant to a wide and diverse audience including, but not limited to, archivists and librarians, other information specialists, historians, computer scientists, sociologists, anthropologists, political scientists and anyone interested in heritage and memory. In particular, we openly discussed topics pertinent to social media, the Web, and mobile communications, and their preservation, privacy matters as well as other ethical and legal issues.
The goal of this three-day event, held at the University of British Columbia, was
to open an interdisciplinary dialogue among the custodians of the world documentary heritage—librarians,
archivists, documentalists and museum curators—and the users of such heritage. It brought together
professionals from UNESCO, the National Archives of Malaysia, the Library of Congress and the National
Archives and Records Administration of the United States, Library and Archives Canada, the Library and
Information Center at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and the Safe Sound Archive to speak on the role
of archivists, records managers, librarians and other information professionals in the preservation of
world documentary heritage and memory. The first two days were devoted to seminar presentations and
discussions with UBC students and faculty followed by a full-day symposium open to students, faculty and
the general public. The Symposium was relevant to a wide and diverse audience including, but not limited
to, archivists and librarians, other information specialists, historians, computer scientists,
sociologists, anthropologists, political scientists and anyone interested in heritage and memory. The
entire event was organized and hosted by the UBC student chapter of the Association of Canadian
Archivists.
