The ICA’s Section on Sport Archives (SPO) is pleased to invite the archives and records management community to the second session of #SPOontheSpot: Debates on Archives and Sport, a series of online debates on archives and sport. This session is scheduled for Wednesday 28 February 2024, and it will be dedicated to addressing the following questions: Why are sports archives important for university archives? What are the most popular sports items in our collections? How have university sports archives been shared within the academic community?

Join us and hear from our international community of students and new professionals at the NPP/FAN Virtual Seminar Series covering Archives and Technology, Archives and Social Justice, and Archives and Education, Training and Research.

Bringing a range of new voices, this seminar series will start on Monday, 4 March with the first virtual seminar about Archives and Technology. This session will explore the use of technology in and with archives and the impact of technology on archival practice. The papers selected for this first seminar were chosen from the call for papers launched last year.

The Association of Latin American Archivists (ALA) invites you on Friday 8 March at 10:00 (Mexico City time) to a virtual meeting to discuss the issue of displaced archives and shared heritage in Latin America by presenting concrete scenarios and examples. At the same time, it intends to disseminate the survey that the Expert Group on Shared Archival Heritage (EGSAH) of the International Council on Archives (ICA) is currently conducting.
