 MAC 2022: Moving Archives Forward

A Call for Proposals 

Celebrating its 50th anniversary, and its first in-person meeting in  three years, the Midwest Archives Conference will hold its 2022 Annual Meeting May 5 - 7, 2022 at the Madison Concourse Hotel and Governor's Club in Madison, Wisconsin. Located on the ancestral lands of the Ho-Chunk (Winnebago Nation), Madison is known for its extensive parks and bike trails, organic architecture, and scenic lakes.

The Wisconsin state motto is "Forward", which provides a useful lens through which to examine the archival profession. What are some of the professional, environmental, societal, and cultural factors that affect the way we move forward, the way we see trends, and the way we identify challenges and opportunities? 

The Program Committee invites session proposals touching on the 2022 theme "Moving Archives Forward" from all areas of archival practice and research and from allied fields. The Program Committee particularly encourages submissions from newer professionals and members of underrepresented groups. Membership is not required. Presenters may submit more than one proposal, but may present only one session OR poster.

Do you have an idea for a proposal but no one to present with? 

Connect with colleagues on the MAC 2022 Brainstorming form

The deadline for submitting proposals is Wednesday, September 8th at 5pm CST.
