A Dream Yet Unfulfilled?: Professional Solidarity and Personal Ideals Sarah R Demb and Patricia Sleeman Archives without Borders International Congress The Hague, 30-31 August 2010

Motivation for AwB UK
How do our personal experiences drive us towards archival solidarity?

Action
What makes us move from individual feeling to formalised action?

Explanation
Are the underlying principles of the archival enterprise responsible for fostering solidarity?

Common Denominators?
Can we even agree on what those principles are across language and philosophical differences?

Supply and Demand
Do archivists in other countries want our support?
How do we negotiate the pitfalls of post-colonial relationships and their archival legacies?

Expressing Solidarity
Are the qualities that move us to express solidarity unique to our profession or sector?

Beyond Philosophy
AwB UK as a portal for information and awareness-raising?
