ACA@UBC Conference 2027

ACA@UBC is excited to open registration for our sixteenth conference, Archiving "Wrong". The program will bring together students, scholars, and active practitioners to share their work in individual, panel, and poster presentations. We anticipate a preliminary schedule will be released in early November.
The conference will be entirely in-person at the University of British Columbia in the Great Hall of the Nest.
Archiving "Wrong"
Archiving “Wrong” is an invitation to question whether there is a “right” way to archive, as well as to consider the work of archiving wrongdoing, and the need to sometimes go against standard practice. With growing political unrest and direct challenges to the ability of information organizations under governmental control to fulfill socially progressive mandates, archiving wrong may take on a new dimension, acknowledging the inability of traditional institutions to respond effectively to those whose needs they serve.
