For archivists handling the everyday operations of today’s archives, the connection to archival theory and academic concepts learned at school or read in academic publications can be somewhat tenuous. Particularly in smaller organizations where limitations of staff and resources can necessitate practical, creative, and out-of-the-box solutions - the abstract role of archival theory can be hard to discern.
The ACA 2026 Virtual Conference explores the connections (and disconnections) between theories of archival practice and the daily realities and challenges archivists face. We will hear about the work being done by archivists across (and beyond) the discipline to address challenges particular to circumstance, whether it be engaging systematically marginalized communities, preservation on a budget, or implementing the Reconciliation Framework released by the Steering Committee on Canada’s Archives.
