ICHORA 2020
The theme of the conference is: Archives and the Digital World. We invite proposals for papers that explore different ways of historicizing and theorizing recordmaking, recordkeeping, and archiving practices from a range of disciplinary perspectives and through the eyes of creators, custodians, and users. As the conference theme suggests, we are particularly interested in historicizing the view of digital technologies, their introduction, and use in recordkeeping.
Due to COVID-19, the conference will be held via video links and participants will not be co-located.
The call for papers is now closed. You may still read the full Call for Papers here.
