Conference & Call for Papers
The Business Archives Council of Scotland held its annual conference and AGM virtually via zoom on Thursday 9th December 2021 from 10 am.
At the beginning of 2020 the Business Archives Council of Scotland was preparing to celebrate its 60th anniversary with a range of events planned for throughout the year. Unfortunately few of our activities took place and as we wrap up our own thoughts on sixty years of BACS and reflect on the changes to our anniversary celebrations we’ve decided to make anniversaries the theme of our 2021 conference. The programme is outlined below and available as a pdf here:
