Conference theme: 'Global Futures'

We know our future is a global one. Global relationships, interactions, communications and connectivity are shifting the way in which we live and work. The record, its information content and memory are an increasing global commodity and as professional custodians we are responsible for authenticity and integrity; which in turn ensures that global research, knowledge exchange, collective memory, political and legal rights, are able to be explored, scrutinized and upheld. Our professional lives often focus on pragmatic response to everyday situations, but we face a constant requirement to communicate and demonstrate to ourselves and to others our ability to place our work firmly in the future.         

CONFERENCE PROGRAMME

We are confident our sector is creative, innovative, adaptable and firmly forward facing. That is why in 2016, we will hear about our Global Future at the ARA annual conference.
