*REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN! Early Bird Registration Ends June 15.

Conference dates: August 2-4, 2012

*Location: Austin, Texas, USA
*
*THEME*
Twenty-first century archivists and librarians, information scientists 
and documentalists, preservation administrators and conservators, and 
museum professionals share a common rich enterprise of managing 
information. Yet the fields of each through time have included work that 
others stake as their province. Consequently through the centuries this 
shared heritage often has been honored in rivalry grounded

  * in the different purposes archivists and librarians, museum curators
    and administrators, information scientists and documentalists, and
    preservation administrators and conservators have claimed as their
    work,
  * in the different traditions of practice grown up to deliver the
    special contribution of each field to society, and
  * in the education appropriate to practicing in each tradition.

The papers gathered for this sixth ICHORA meeting address these 
questions and contextualize them by including a strong set of archival 
history papers. We anticipate a rich opportunity for scholarly 
discussion around the papers and the opportunities offered by our venues.

*LOGO*
The significance of archives has often been demonstrated by the will of 
contending authorities to fight over them, and Texas has been no 
exception. The logo for this year’s ICHORA conference portrays a 
downtown statue of Austin boarding-house owner Angelina Eberly with the 
cannon with which she fired at a group trying to haul the archives of 
Texas away from Austin to Houston in 1842, in what became known locally 
as the Texas Archive War (for more information, see

*MEETING LOCATION AND LOCAL ARCHIVES*
Most of the paper sessions will be held in the Prothro Theater in the 
Harry Ransom Center, home of a world-class archives of literature and 
publishing. Attendees will be hosted at a reception with tours at the 
Briscoe Center for American History, known for its broad holdings of 
historical manuscripts pertaining to the history of the United States. 
Other significant archival institutions exist on campus (the Lyndon 
Baines Johnson Presidential Library, the Benson Center for Latin 
American History, the Alexander Architectural Archives) and all are 
prepared to welcome researchers who may have a few additional days to 
spend in Austin. All of these institutions can be reached through their 
websites, all of which are listed here:

This list does not exhaust the archival wealth of Austin, which is also 
the home of the Texas State Library and Archives, the Austin History 
Center (the city archives), the Catholic Archives of Texas, the 
Presbyterian Archives, the Texas General Land Office, and the Texas 
Archive of the Moving Image, to name a few within easy reach of the campus.
