Dear colleagues, Registration for the International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives 2014 annual conference, “Connecting Cultures: Content, Context, and Collaboration”, is now open and available online at: http://2014.iasa-web.org This year’s conference is being held in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa, at the National Library of South Africa’s Center for the Book. We have a compelling lineup of presentations from archiving experts around the world—including an expanded poster session that promises to spark lively discussion, a digitization workshop, and many informative tutorials and thought-provoking papers. Also, of note, Verne Harris of the Centre of Memory and Dialogue at the Nelson Mandela Foundation will be delivering the keynote address on the opening day. Not only will you be kept busy during your days in Cape Town, but you will also have the chance to socialize with colleagues old and new, see some fantastic music performances and take-in the incredible sights, sounds and tastes of Cape Town.
