Call for Poster Presentations: OMAMAC 2017

The Midwest Archives Conference will convene for its annual meeting April 5-8, 2017, in Omaha, Nebraska.

Poster Proposals

The 2017 Program Committee invites poster proposal submissions on all aspects of archival practice and research, as well as from allied and related fields. Submissions are welcome from all MAC members, especially students and new professionals. (Please note: this is a change from past poster sessions, which usually were for students and new professionals only.)

Poster sessions are a means to communicate and exchange ideas, programs, research, and projects to fellow MAC meeting attendees. Poster sessions may present any of the following:

  • a description of an innovative archives program
  • an examination of a practical, problem-solving endeavor
  • an explanation of a research investigation
  • novel archival projects or case studies

Proposals are due January 13, 2017.

Proposal Evaluation

The Program Committee will evaluate all proposals submitted by the deadline. Proposals will be evaluated in two ways:

  • Merit and clarity of the 250-word abstract; and
  • Completeness of the proposal, particularly having well-developed content to understand all relevant aspects of the topic.

Individuals with proposals chosen for inclusion in the MAC 2017 Annual Meeting will be notified in February 2017.

To submit a proposal, please fill out the online form. The deadline for submitting poster proposals for the 2017 MAC Annual Meeting is January 13, 2017. 

Poster session tips are available here.

We look forward to seeing you in Omaha!
