=====

March 19, 2006 - I-CHORA 3 Call for Papers - deadline extended to May 19th!!!
The Third International Conference on the History of Records and Archives (I-CHORA 3) will be held in Boston, Massachusetts on September 27-29, 2007, hosted by the Massachusetts Historical Society.

The theme of the conference will be the history of personal records and personal recordkeeping practices. This theme is intended to cover the full range of personal documents—including, for example, letters, diaries, journals, and scrapbooks—both as document types and as parts of recordkeeping systems that document personal life. We invite submissions of proposals for papers that report on original research into a topic and theme that has not been widely discussed in the archival literature, although there are many scholars in literary studies, history and the arts who have probed the personal and social functions and meaning of records made, kept, and exchanged by people in their private and professional lives. Papers may treat any time period and any national jurisdiction. Topics might include, but are not limited to the following areas:

bullet the forms of personal records
bullet the motivations for making and keeping personal records
bullet the collecting of personal records by individuals and archival repositories
bullet cross-disciplinary perspectives on personal records
bullet needs for research in the area of personal records

Please think about your work and how it may be shared with colleagues in the world of archives and beyond.

Proposals for papers should be no less than 500 words, double spaced, and in RTF format.

Proposals should be sent to i-chora@fis.utoronto.ca by 19 May 2006. We will advise acceptance by the middle of June 2006.

Organizing and Program Committee:
Barbara Craig, University of Toronto
Philip B. Eppard, University at Albany, SUNY
Heather MacNeil, University of British Columbia
Brenda Lawson, Massachusetts Historical Society
