 New England Archivists (NEA) invites submissions of session proposals for
our Spring 2019 Meeting, to be held *April 4–6, 2019, in Burlington,
Vermont,* at the Hilton Burlington.



The deadline for proposals is *September 28, 2018*.



With the theme “Together We Can,” the Spring 2019 Meeting will explore how
archivists work with both records and users, especially with diverse
peoples and groups who use and share archival material. Sessions offering
practical information and innovative ideas will inspire archivists in the
work they do every day as well as advance the archives profession.



The Spring 2019 Program Committee invites proposals on all topics but is
especially interested in the following:

●       Archivists who work with non-traditional user groups

●       Interdisciplinary projects involving archivists or the use of
archives

●       Effects of changes in laws or policies related to archives

●       Concepts of fact and truth in the archives

●       Archival advocacy within different types of administrative
structures

●       Collaboration to complete digital and analog projects

●       Vermont history and culture



First-time presenters, current graduate students, and early-career
professionals are encouraged to apply.
