[SOA] MAC Annual Meeting Chicago 2010, CFP

[Janet Carleton]

Midwest Archives Conference
ANNUAL MEETING 2010
Call for Proposals

Chicago, Illinois
April 22–24, 2010

Deadline for Submission: August 15, 2009

The Midwest Archives Conference invites submissions of presentations, 
sessions, workshops, and papers for its annual meeting, to be held April 
22-24, 2010 in Chicago, Illinois. The MAC Program Committee invites 
proposals on all aspects of archives and archival work, but is also 
seeking proposals that focus on the meeting’s theme of "Chicago: 
Cultural Crossroads."

Chicago, and the entire Midwest in fact, is known for the wide and rich 
ethnic diversity it cherishes, a patchwork quilt of immigrant 
communities from all over the world. Chicago was also the destination of 
millions of African Americans during the two Great Migration waves of 
twentieth century. Furthermore, nearly every religious group can be 
found in Chicago and the Midwest, and, a large gay, lesbian and 
transgender community enjoys the friendly, tolerant and welcoming 
climate of Chicago, Illinois, and neighboring states.

We encourage creative and timely presentations that will engage 
archivists and records managers from all types of organizations. 
Proposals from graduate students and from professionals in allied fields 
are very welcome.

Typical sessions are 90 minutes in length with three panelists and a 
chair or moderator. Individual proposals that need additional presenters 
or fine-tuning will also be considered, although fully-realized 
proposals are preferred. Early proposal submissions are encouraged!

Please submit proposals by August 15, 2009. The required submission form 
is downloadable from 
http://www.midwestarchives.org/2010Spring/MAC2010CallforProposals.rtf.

(To submit a session proposal, please save the form to your computer, 
complete it, and then send it via E-mail or traditional mail to one of
