MAC Annual Meeting 2011
Call for Proposals
St. Paul, Minnesota
April 28–30, 2011
Deadline for Submission: September 1, 2010
The Midwest Archives Conference invites submissions of presentations, sessions, workshops, and papers for its annual meeting, to be held April 28-30, 2011 in St. Paul, Minnesota. The MAC Program Committee invites proposals on all aspects of archives and archival work, but is also seeking proposals that focus on the meeting’s theme of “Headwaters of History.”
We seek creative and timely presentations that will engage archivists and records managers from all types of organizations. Proposals from graduate students and from professionals in allied fields are very welcome.
Typically, sessions are 90 minutes in length with three panelists and a chair or moderator. Non-traditional sessions with fewer speakers that allow time for group discussion/interaction will also be held in St. Paul. One session will be dedicated for student papers. Proposals that need additional presenters or fine-tuning will also be considered, although fully-completed proposals are preferred. Early proposal submissions are encouraged!
Please submit proposals by September 1, 2010 using the online submission form.
