CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK GRADUATE CENTER NEW YORK CITY, MAY 8-10, 2008
The Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies (CLAGS) of the Graduate Center of the City University of New York is proud to be the primary sponsor of the GLBT ALMS Conference 2008, the second recent international conference about GLBT Archives, Libraries, Museums, and Special Collections (ALMS). Following the successful GLBT ALMS conference at the University of Minnesota in May 2006, GLBT ALMS 2008 is scheduled to take place in New York City May 8-10, 2008.
GLBT ALMS 2008 will focus on GLBT archives, libraries, museums, and other collections of GLBT materials. The conference will explore a range of topics related to the organization, description, access, use, publicity, support, suppression, and preservation of GLBT archival collections, institutions, and material.
Submit Your Ideas
Archivists, librarians, curators, independent scholars, academics, activists, artists, researchers, and all affiliated with community-based queer archives are invited to submit ideas for individual and collaborative papers, panels, workshops, discussions, performances, and multimedia presentations on any aspect of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer identity, culture, and community in relation to GLBT archives, libraries, collections, or research methods.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to legal issues, public access, research methods, international connections, digitization, institutional partnerships, preparing collections, private collecting, and archive building.
Contributions from archivists outside the USA are particularly welcome.
Send resumes/CVs/brief biographies along with proposals of no more than 500 words to ALMS2008@gmail.com no later than October 15, 2007. Include “ALMS Conference Proposal” in the email subject line. Prospective participants will be notified by December 1, 2007.
Co-sponsorhip
Your organization can support the GLBT ALMS 2008 conference.
Individual conference registration fees will provide some of the money we need, but to make this conference a success we need to boost our conference budget. It's very important to us that money is not an obstacle for attendees, especially activists and lay archivists, who want to attend the conference from all over the world.
Co-sponsorship levels range from $250 to $1000 and above, and contributions at these levels will be acknowledged with free ads in the conference program. In addition, your organization’s name will appear on all conference-related material, including:
the conference poster mailed to 4000 people on CLAGS's mailing list
the CLAGS newsletter mailed to over 4000 people in the US and internationally
the conference web page
the conference program
any related post-conference publications
Additional opportunities exist for your organization to sponsor an attendee, to cover conference breakfasts or receptions, or to support travel and housing for keynote and other featured speakers, presenters, and performers. Please contact us at ALMS2008@gmail.com to explore these possibilities.
Your sponsorship will demonstrate your seriousness about creating viable, dynamic glbt archives, histories, and memory. Your contribution will support students, activists, researchers, and others - not only those involved in constructing glbt archives, but also everyone using them. GLBT ALMS 2008 will provide a venue to strengthen academic, activist, community-based, and research networks. We will design the conference to incite dialogue, share findings and methods, and to support the creation and maintenance of resources shaping and reflecting glbt lives, struggles, and social change.
