SUV Reading Group
The ICA-SUV Reading Group, which launched in June 2020, seeks to virtually bring together archivists and record managers from all over the world to discuss once a month a journal article or a news item about recordkeeping. It is intended to be an exchange of ideas, perspectives and opinions in a convivial setting.
Sessions are announced on the ICA-SUV listserv. Please get in touch with Venkat Srinivasan (venkats@ncbs.res.in) or Anne-Flore Laloë (anne-flore.laloe@embl.de) if you have suggestions or would like to help by proposing articles or running a session.
