What is a Record?
The new Nordic/International Archival network Digitization and the Future of Archives (2018-2021) is happy to invite you to join the Networks opening conference: What is a Record? The theme of the conference is based on the idea that the way we define records ultimately connects to the question of what we can and want to do with our past in the future. We look forward to exciting and fruitful discussions with both researchers and practitioners. With the support of the Independent Research Fund Denmark, The network aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to create a forum, where the possibilities and challenges of digital archives can be discussed across international and organizational contexts.
