We particularly welcome proposals addressing issues of common interest, such as caring for sound collections, digitising collections, and long term storage, from private collections to institutional archives.

Please send abstracts of no more than 250 words to Katie.Tavini@bl.uk

Deadline: 24 August 2018

The 2018 BISA conference will be preceded by a training day on Thursday 15th November also held at the National Library of Wales. The training will be delivered by the British Library's Will Prentice. More details will be issued soon.

BISA formed in 2006 as a forum to celebrate and share knowledge on the care and promotion of sound collections throughout the British Isles. Our annual conference is a great opportunity for anyone passionate about sound heritage to share skills, enthusiasm, special interests and experience. We hope to see you in Wales!
