16-22 августа 2014, Lyon, France
Theme:
Diasporas, migrations and identities: collecting, preserving and sharing Family and Local Oral Histories
The IFLA Genealogy and Local History Section invites proposals for papers to be presented at a two-hour session at the IFLA General Conference, August 2014, in Lyon, France.
Proposals are especially welcome which include an exploration of the role of diasporas and migrations in shaping family and group identities and cross-cultural interactions, as seen in the study of local and family histories across Europe and the Mediterranean world. To spark ideas without in any way limiting the scope and variety of possible presentations, it is noted that the program could include such varied perspectives as:
What we want is a mixed international selection of papers documenting different resources and scholarly methodologies for studying the interaction of cultural and religious traditions in past and present European multicultural societies.
Other topics within the theme could also be considered.
Proposal abstracts should be submitted in English as a Microsoft Office Word file.
Proposal abstracts for the Open Session must be submitted by 14th March 2014 and should include:
