MOVEMENT

Acid Free, the online quarterly magazine of the Los Angeles Archivists Collective, is welcoming contributions for its upcoming issue. Acid Free seeks to be a smart, complicated, non-academic forum for a variety of voices and issues in our field, to ground archivists locally and regionally while also keeping an eye toward larger conversations and landscapes.

The theme of our December 2018 issue will be MOVEMENT, which can be broadly interpreted through an archival lens. Possible topics may include: career progression; moving images; digital file transfers; social justice movements; sports; or other takes on the theme.

Articles can highlight documents, collections, or exhibitions; explore local landmarks; or address theme-related subjects and issues in the profession.

Pitch us your idea by telling us in a few sentences what your article is about and how it relates to MOVEMENT and archives. Please keep in mind our submission guidelines* and check out current and past issues of Acid Free for examples.

Pitches will be accepted through Friday, October 26th at: acidfree@laacollective.org.

Thanks from the Acid Free team.

*Articles can be any length, but we recommend keeping 1,000-2,000 words with captioned images in .jpg format.
