Please join us for the upcoming Future of Archives in a Digital Age Symposium, being held at the University of Missouri, February 24-25, 2011. The conference features two keynote addresses, by Prof. William Ferris (UNC-Chapel Hill, former director of the NEH) and Prof. Robert Darnton (Director of the Harvard Libraries), as well as a series of roundtable conversations with campus and regional experts in the digital humanities. There is no cost to attend for MU employees and students, but you must pre-register online. The cost for non-MU affiliated attendees is $40 and includes a reception on Thursday evening; continental breakfast and lunch on Friday; and a parking permit.
The website for the event is now open at: http://muconf.missouri.edu/futureofarchives/. It includes a schedule of the event and an online registration form. If you plan to attend, please register soon! Also, we’d be grateful if you’d share this information with any colleagues who may be interested in the event.
