Research Forum
“Foundations and Innovations”
Tuesday, August 10 • 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
The past three Research Forums have yielded
great participant responses, confirming
that the full spectrum of research activities—from “pure” research to applied research
and innovative practice—is of interest and
value to the archives community. The 2010
Research Forum will build on its previous
success with a full day of presentations.
Join SAA for the 4th Annual SAA Research
Forum if you’re:
- Engaged in research.
- Seeking to identify research-based solutions
for your institution.
- Willing to participate in the research cycle
by serving as a beta site for research trials.
- Simply interested in what’s happening in
research and innovation.
Researchers, practitioners, educators,
students, and those across all sectors of
archives and records management are invited
to participate. Use the Forum to discuss,
debate, plan, organize, evaluate, or motivate
research projects and initiatives. The event
seeks to facilitate collaboration and help
inform researchers about what questions
and problems need to be tackled.
As archivists from around the country
and the world convene at ARCHIVES*RECORDS/DC 2010, the Research Forum
provides a platform to acknowledge current,
and encourage future, research and innovation
across the broad archives community.

Call for Platform and Poster Presentations
SAA invites submission of abstracts (250 words or less) for either 10-minute platform
presentations or poster presentations. Topics may address research on, or innovations
in, any aspect of archival practice or records management in government, corporate,
academic, scientific, or other setting. Presentations on research results that
may have emerged since the Joint Meeting Call for Proposals deadline in September
2009 are welcome, as are reports on research completed within the past three years
that you think is relevant and valuable for discussion. Please indicate whether you
intend a platform or poster presentation.
Abstracts will be evaluated by a review committee co-chaired by Nancy McGovern
(Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research, University of
Michigan) and Helen Tibbo (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill).
Deadline for submission of abstracts: May 3, 2010. You will be notified of the review
committee’s decision by July 9. Submit to researchforum@archivists.org.
