 Subject: Call for Papers- Archives and Records Association's Annual 
Conference, Glasgow 5-7 August 2026.
 Message: The submission portal for our 2026 conference Call for Papers is now 
open. 

The deadline for submission of papers is 13th February 2026.








We are calling for papers on the theme of 'Authenticity'.

Annie Starkey, chair of the ARA Conference Committee says:

"As we return to a fully in-person conference for 2026, it feels appropriate to 
address the theme of authenticity  - how do we approach the practices of Record 
Keeping in an age where 'truth' feels increasingly under fire?

We've seen Heads of State alter, deny, and destroy archival records. If history 
is determined by the victor, how do we work with integrity and preserve the 
full truth when those in power may seek to quash it? Conversely, as Record 
keepers we have been described as 'Custodians of the Truth', but who's truth? 
How do we ensure fair and balanced representation, especially when some views 
feel so alien to us?

How do we manage the legality of digitising records for Records Management 
purposes, when – for example - the digitised records supersede the 'original' 
items as the 'legal' copies? When original formats have a limited lifespan, 
either because of their inherent instability or technological obsolescence – 
how do we give people an authentic experience when accessing born-digital 
records? Is authenticity in fact the priority, or does access trump truth?

There are also discussions to be had around the ethics of AI and 
machine-learning and its use – can it simplify tasks like metadata capture or 
transcription, increasing efficiency; or will it impact on data quality, dilute 
understanding, and lead to de-skilling of record keepers?

The authenticity of the physical record can be viewed through conservation 
decision-making lens, but what are the implications of the treatments we 
undertake and the materials we use? Are we compromising authenticity, or 
broadening the narrative of what can be perceived as authentic?
In an era marked by disinformation, contested histories, and rapid 
technological change, the concept of authenticity in recordkeeping has never 
been more complex-or more critical. How do we navigate truth, ethics, and 
recordkeeping in a Post-Truth World?"

Suggested Ideas for exploration might be:



What is the authentic experience within the archive? Is there a "hierarchy of 
authenticity" when prioritising or foregrounding the experience of different 
individuals or groups?

Does authenticity matter? Are we in danger of trying to create a static and 
immobile template that ignores interpretation and varied opinion?

How is authenticity changing in response to AI? In an ongoing age of 
disinformation, what does authenticity really mean?

How does the choice of AI source material contribute to perpetuating 
stereotypes around subjects such as race, gender and religion?

"Truth, trust, provenance and overcoming the 'age of stupidity'". As 
record-keepers, should this be our mission statement?

Archives are socially constructed - how do changing social perspectives affect 
authenticity?

Record keeping establishments are places of destruction as much as 
preservation. What narratives control retention choices? Where does the burden 
of authenticity rest?

Contested histories - what is the place of an archive to challenge or uphold 
certain narratives?

Archival and record-keeping theory – if apparently minor issues such as page 
order are compromised, is this conscious dissociation? What is the impact on 
perceived authenticity?

When archives are used within other systems of governance and authority, what 
does this mean for authentic narratives of major events? Presidential 
elections, the UK newspaper hacking scandals and the UK Post Office enquiry, 
have all laid bare flaws in documentation and decision-making. The use and 
misuse of records that have a dramatic impact on 'real life'

The digital record vs. the original record - what is the reader seeking to 
experience? Is one 'more' authentic than the other?

Who wields tools of authentication such as heritage science? What role does 
material analysis play in understanding collections? How can new technologies 
deepen this understanding?

Does interventive conservation treatment compromise authenticity? Best practice 
dictates use of sympathetic materials, emphasising reversibility, but what does 
it mean for treatment integrity when manufacturing processes of materials are 
changed, or accessibility is affected by external factors such as climate 
change?

What of inevitable changes to the item to preserve them and/or make them 
accessible? Is accessibility the enemy of authenticity? Do these treatments 
change the fundamental nature of collection material?

And of course, we are open to many more ideas than this!

All we need at this stage is a 500 word (max) abstract for your presentation, 
panel or workshop. We expect that all presentations will be made in-person in 
Glasgow.

As in previous conferences we offer the following formats:

 Subject: Book Launch:  Art Restoration Under the Nazi Regime: Revelation and 
Concealment.
 Message:  
   Book Launch: Art Restoration Under the Nazi Regime: Revelation and 
Concealment.  
   This book is the first in-depth study of the restoration and conservation 
field in the National Socialist era. It presents a completely new perspective 
on the physical manipulation of fine, applied arts and other cultural property, 
 under the regime from 1933 to post war in 1948. It investigates the 
motivations behind the participation of the conservation and restoration 
profession in this network of profit, crime, persecution and ideological 
broadcast.  
   The book is being launched next month at two events (London and Oxford).  
   All welcome. Please see the events below for registration and (free) 
ticketing.

Subject: Pastel Portrait Painting's Artist/ Provenance - Input Needed


Dear colleagues,
​​​I treated a pastel painting with mold and would like to have information 
about the artist. It's a portrait of a "Young Lady" executed on laid blue paper 
support lined onto a linen canvas attached to a wooden strainer. The pastel was 
under a glass and inside in an ornate gilded frame in very bad condition. Both 
the artwork and the frame were stabilized to protect it from further damages. 
This painting belongs to a private client who inherited this object without its 
proper provenance. It's likely that the artwork was purchased in Paris, France 
and then brought to the US.There is a wooden backing board on the reverse of 
the frame and has an inscription that it's not legible. There are only 
fragments, this laid paper support is very fragile and in poor condition. Am 
not certain if this painting is from the (early) 18th century or is in a 19th 
century French Rococo revival style or something else.Attached find several 
images for your review. From examining the backs and bottoms of
 countless works of art, I would argue that the most common preservation 
mistake artists make is not properly marking their work. Every piece should 
have the artist's name, the title of the artwork, the date, signature and the 
place of creation clearly printed (somewhere on it) in block letters. I 
contacted Dr. Thea Burns, Adjunct Associate Professor at the Department of Art 
History and Art Conservation Program, Queen's University, in Kingston, Canada. 
Thea has researched extensively on pastels, blue paper and other topics and was 
very helpful in addressing the possible ways to identify the artist and dating. 
She encouraged me to contact Neil Jeffares in England to inquire about this 
pastel and introduced me to this wonderful resource/ website.Pastels & 
pastellists: The Dictionary of pastellists before 1800 
<http://www.pastellists.com/>Neil Jeffares
London, United Kingdom
Website www.pastellists.com <http://www.pastellists.com/>
Twitter http://twitter.com/neiljeffares <http://twitter.com/neiljeffares>
Hope that you might recognize the artist and possibly find other artworks by 
this same artist, such as drawings and oil paintings of a woman with a turban 
or an Odalisque - "L'Odalisque" commonly seen in French Rococo style. The 
pastel painting is very delicate and beautiful thus deserving this 
stabilization treatment. It was framed without the original wooden backing 
board (verso) after treatment to prevent further fungal attack.
Please, I'd greatly appreciate any further information and guidance. Many 
thanks in advance for your time and kind attention.  Valeria
