The PARBICA Bureau thanks members and partners for their submissions to present at the upcoming PARBICA 21 conference- ‘Demystifying Digital’ – 7 – 8 November 2025
This year, we come together to challenge the perception that the digital world is an impossible challenge for Pacific recordkeeping practitioners. “Demystifying Digital” is about breaking down barriers, making technology understandable, and sharing practical, accessible solutions tailored to the realities of our region, while also looking ahead to see what opportunities are on the horizon.
This theme reflects our shared commitment to empower Pacific archives, cultural institutions, and information professionals to engage confidently with digital tools, regardless of resources or infrastructure.
The call for papers has now closed.
