CALL FOR PAPERS
As most of historical processes are not geographically or otherwise isolated, archives worldwide, whether national, regional, or even personal, have also a mission to keep and present documents concerning common history. Hence the intention of the 31st ICARUS Convention is to shed light to the importance of common archival heritage that should be
a base for a fruitful scientific and cultural cooperation as well as for the promotion of good neighbourly relations.
We expect participants to highlight the archival heritage of international/regional interest, its preservation, accessibility,
digitization, especially its presence at online archival platforms and development of digital research tools.
Moreover, the contributions should be related to the provenance and preservation of the archival heritage in the context of political, legal and ethical issues.
Papers should be presented in English and last no longer than 15 minutes.
The Deadline for handing in a paper is 30.09.2023.
Please send your proposal to the host: icarus31@arhiv.gov.mk
You will be contacted by the organizers afterwards.
