Welcome to the Australian Society of Archivists' 2023 National Conference
e
There is a special kind of excitement around Naarm/Melbourne in September, and we invite you to join us in person or online for our hybrid conference, to be held at the MCG from 4 to 7 September 2023.
Rising to our challenges: archives at the 'G is our theme, drawing inspiration from the ‘G as an iconic Melbourne sporting venue and landmark on unceded Wurundjeri Country.
Archives, like the 'G, can also reach across the community and evoke passion, emotion and devotion. Let's come together, raise our voices, cheer each other on, and find inspiration to overcome our challenges.
