Registration is now open for the eighth DCDC Conference: DCDC21, which is being held virtually from 28 June – 02 July 2021
You can register for the conference on the DCDC website. We are still finalising some sessions so keep checking back on the website as we continue to add to the DCDC21 programme.
DCDC stands for Discovering Collections, Discovering Communities, a cross-sectoral conference, hosted by The National Archives, RLUK and Jisc, that brings together the GLAMA sectors (galleries, libraries, archives, museums and academia) to shine a light on our shared experiences, innovations, interests and concerns.
DCDC21 will bring together delegates from across the archive, library, museum and academic sectors, to hear from over 85 speakers from more than 50 organisations, from the UK, Ireland, Europe, and beyond.
DCDC21 will explore how crisis can act as a catalyst for change within libraries, archives, museums, and cultural organisations. It will explore the impact that crisis can have on working practices, collections, and audience engagement, and how periods of turbulence can lead to new opportunities for research and collaboration. It will seek to examine how cultural heritage organisations can look beyond times of crisis and foster innovation and collaboration in their institutions and communities.
