Designing the Archive 2019 explores human centric design processes, challenging us to put people at the centre of our work within archives. It provides an opportunity to explore how data and information managers, records managers and archivists are using, or can use, human-centred design approaches to ensure we deliver benefits to citizens, customers, stakeholders and communities.
Join us in Adelaide, South Australia, to expand your understanding of the use of empathy, creativity, innovation, experimentation, prototyping, and co-design in the development of recordkeeping systems, information governance frameworks, archival programs and services, archive buildings and spaces, or digital archives.
Please view the Conference registration page before 31 15 August to take advantage of the Early Bird pricing.
