Past Conference
No Archive
is an Island
The 2008 conference of the International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives (IASA) will be hosted by the Australasian Sound Recordings Association (ASRA) at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney, Australia from 13-19 September 2008.
The survival of sound and audiovisual archives is dependent on the exchange of ideas, shared standards, similar technological approaches and mutual support. The conference will explore the activities, achievements, interconnections and relationships between individuals and institutions active in the field of sound and audiovisual collections. The ASRA IASA 2008 international conference will attract speakers and delegates from Australia, the Pacific, Asia, Europe and the Americas including senior archival and collections staff from research, broadcast and national audiovisual archives and libraries and leading experts in technology, preservation, documentation and access.
IASA and ASRA members represent expertise in radio, research, oral history, social history, audiovisual collections, musicology, linguistics, ethnography, ethnomusicology, folklore, recordings, records, music, sound art, preservation, collection description, cataloguing, metadata, archival management and the provision of access to collections of audiovisual materials.
Invitation
The imperative of change and the loss of technologies and expertise are driving sound and audiovisual archives to evaluate their collections. Can all archives and libraries afford to implement the necessary technological changes to preserve access to their collections? Is there a solution to the crisis that sound and audiovisual archives face? The survival of sound and audiovisual archives is dependent on the exchange of ideas, shared standards, similar technological approaches and mutual support. The ASRA IASA 2008 conference will explore the activities, achievements, interconnections and relationships between individuals and institutions active in the field of sound and audiovisual collections.
We invite you to join us in Sydney in September 2008 as we continue to explore the issues that face us and find ways to continue to building bridges between archival islands.
