FRIDAY
Geskiedenissimposium 2026 @ SA Akademie, Arcadia
Vanjaar se byeenkoms plaas die kollig op Suid-Afrika se argivale landskap en die onmisbare rol wat argiewe in historiese navorsing speel – van die uitdagings van bewaring en toegang tot die moontlikhede wat digitisering en digitalisering ontsluit. Deelnemers word genooi om saam te dink oor die stand van ons argiewe, navorsers se omgang met bronne, en hoe belangrike versamelings nuwe tuistes en nuwe lewe kan vind in ’n digitale era. Sluit gratis aan by hierdie betekenisvolle gesprek oor die bewaring, ontsluiting en toekoms van ons argivale erfenis. Stuur ’n e-pos aan melanie@akademie.co.za om u bywoning te bevestig. Tyd: 13:00–17:00. 086 133 3786.
