Archives and Records Association Annual Conference

Archives and Records Association (ARA) Conference
"Progression, Innovation and New Landscapes"
Brighton 29-31
August, 2012

Registration is now open for the ARA 2012 conference which will take
place in The Grand Hotel Brighton 29-31 August, 2012.

The Conservation programme is very exciting this year with most
current issues being addressed and discussed. There are sessions on
decision making in conservation, risk assessment, storage
environment and housing, practical sessions on parchment repair,
pigments under investigation, conservation projects, leather
treatments, moulds, audio formats, stationery binding, conservation
to enable digitisation, case studies and much, much more.

The three-day conference "Progression, Innovation and New
Landscapes" has both Archives/Records and Conservation strands and
includes the popular Information Market Place. Conference speakers
will come to Brighton from the US, Germany and all parts of the UK.

Social aspects include a Latin Evening Gala Dinner and a drinks
reception at Horatio's Bar on Brighton Pier.

A number of sea-view rooms are available and these rooms will be
allocated first to reward early booking.

The 2011 conference in Edinburgh was sold out and feedback was very
positive--book now to avoid disappointment.
