Call for Student Proposals: ACA Conference 2009

New Ideas, New Voices: The Student Session

Calgary, Alberta - May 17-19, 2009

Are you an archival studies student with an idea that you want to share with the archival community? Are you researching a paper and would like to take it to the next stage? Are you honing your public speaking skills, and looking for ways to enhance your CV? The ACA 2009 Program Committee wants to hear from you!!

Proposals are now being accepted for the ACA Conference’s annual student session. Submissions relating to the conference theme, “Rights, Responsibilities, Trust: Archives and Public Affairs,” are encouraged, though proposals on other archival topics will also be considered. For more information about the conference theme, see the ACA conference website. All individuals who are presently enrolled in or will graduate from a Canadian archival studies program in the 2008-09 academic year are eligible to apply.

The student session, “New Ideas, New Voices,” will be held on Friday, May 15th, 2009 from 1:30 to 3:00 pm. Three student papers (15 to 20 minutes each) will be selected by the Program Committee, each by a student from a different institution.

Thanks to the Association of Canadian Archivists Foundation (ACAF), the selected participants will receive a bursary which covers the cost of the registration fees as well as some assistance for the travel and accommodation expenses, through their schools. Students who meet the eligibility criteria (e.g. ACA member, Canadian, travel originating in Canada), may also apply for a travel subsidy through the ACA’s SSHRC travel fund, while the completed SSHRC travel form must be submitted directly to the ACA office.

Please include the following in your submission:

• Your name, telephone number, postal address, and email address
• Name and address of the school/program that you attend
• Title and abstract of your paper (max. 250 words)
• A one-sentence statement indicating your commitment to attend the 2009 ACA Conference and to deliver your paper in person if selected by the Committee

The deadline for submissions is January 25, 2009.

Questions and submissions should be sent to Crista Bradley, ACA 2009 Conference Program Committee, at crista.bradley@uregina.ca.
