> The Board of Directors of the Association of Canadian Archivists (ACA) is
> pleased to announce that the 2003 Annual Conference and meeting of the ACA
> will be held in Toronto Ontario. The ACA is proud to be part of the 100
> anniversary celebrations of the Archives of Ontario. The Conference Theme
> is WHAT'S HISTORY GOT TO DO WITH IT?
>
> What's History Got To Do With It?
> Most archivists would admit that there is a relationship between history
> and
> archives.  But any consensus about the nature of that relationship has
> fallen apart, if it ever truly existed.  Since the debate that raged in
> the
> pages of Archivaria during the mid-1980s, the historian vs. records
> manager
> argument has simmered.  More recently, other factors have clouded the
> picture:  the development of archival studies programs, situated variously
> within information science or history programs; international perspectives
> emphasizing "evidence" over culture; the diversity of clientele and their
> research needs of public archives; and most controversial of all, the
> incursion of postmodern thought into archival circles, denying any
> objectivity or truth to history.
>
> Just what does history have to do with archives?  The proposed conference
> theme can explore the history/archives relationship from any number of
> perspectives:  archives and archivists in history; the history of archival
> thought; history of the record; the archivist's role in mediating the
> writing of history; archives as sites of memory; and many more.
