I-CHORA 5: Fifth International Conference on the History of Records and Archives

The I-CHORA series began in Toronto in 2003 and continued in Amsterdam, Boston and Perth; it has become the pre-eminent conference for the history of all aspects of recordkeeping principles and practice.  I-CHORA 5 will be held in London, with the theme 'Records, archives and technology: interdependence over time'.

Thirty speakers from across Europe, North America and Australia will address subjects ranging from the early recordkeeping technologies of Peru, through medieval recordkeeping in Venice and Tudor recordkeeping in England, to the nineteenth century British civil service and twentieth century Spain.  Keynote papers will be given by Gary Urton (Harvard University), Barbara Craig (University of Toronto), and Paul Luff and Christian Heath (King’s College London).
