"Maui Nui A Kama! Celebrating AHA and the Valley Isle”
Association of Hawaii Archivists Annual Conference
February 18, 2018
University of Hawaii—Maui College Library 8:30am-3pm

We are looking for fresh and enthusiastic presenters to submit presentation proposals for one
of our 3 panel sessions:

Archival Ethics Panel
Most archivists have encountered ethical dilemmas in their professional work. Who has the right
to see what, and who makes that decision and how? Beyond following established retention
schedules, are there other types of materials we should not be keeping? Or are there special
ways we should be managing a certain type of material? This panel seeks to discuss how
repositories, institutions, and organizations deal with culturally sensitive materials, privacy &
access rights, creating boundaries in an archive, and tips on displaying and presenting materials.

Archives and the Digital Deal Panel
In spite of differing standards, best practices, and systems used across the digital landscape,
archives and special collections are successfully made available to populations around the world.  
This panel explores digital collection efforts from institutions, repositories, and organizations in
Hawai’i and the impact of digital collections have had on various communities.  Panelists present
on unique digitization projects and collaborations, discuss processing and providing access to
digital and “Born Digital” material, and give insight on the curation of online exhibits.

Changing the Center: Archives on Neighbor Islands Panel
(In order to submit a proposal for this panel, you must be a Neighbor Island-based professional).
Neighbor Island professionals face unique challenges with scarce funding, distance from our
largest city in the State, and continuing education opportunities. Beyond that, the way professionals and repositories from Neighbor Islands are viewed tends to be a bit in the margins. This panel explores the latest undertakings, programs, and projects, as well as some of the obstacles Neighbor Island professionals have encountered along the way and how have they have addressed issues and reframed the "center" with creative techniques and methods in their archives.

Please send your full name as you would have it listed on the program, contact info, and abstracts
of no more than 300 words, also indicating which panel you would like to present on, and the title
of your presentation, to Keau George (keau.hps@gmail.com) by no later than January 5th, 2017. 

Presentation Criteria:

-We highly encourage presenters to use PowerPoint or something comparable
-Each presenter will have 15 mins to present
-AHA will cover each presenters annual meeting registration fee
-You do not have to be a member of AHA to present
-We encourage graduate students, paraprofessionals, cultural professionals, archivists, collection

fields to submit an abstract. Our goal is to encourage a wide range of voices at the AHA
conference and expose our colleagues in this wonderful organization to different perspectives,
to different islands, and different repositories all over the State!
