European Oil and Gas Network Conference 2013

The 4th conference of the European Oil & Gas Archives Network (EOGAN): Corporate Engagement and Public Access

Hosted by: European Oil and Gas Network

Venue: Special Collections Centre
The Sir Duncan Rice Library

EOGAN aims to create a network of people working to preserve and promote the use of oil and gas related records, by the industry itself, researchers and the public and membership is open to:

• archivists and records managers working within the oil and gas sector (companies, state agencies and archival insitutions)
• research institutions/researchers interested in the energy sector 

The annual EOGAN meeting is not a large conference, rather a meeting place where you have a chance to make personal acquaintances and create links that may be useful in your daily work. This year we will be exploring the following topics under the overarching theme of ’Corporate Engagement and Public Access’.

• Promoting corporate engagement with EOGAN aims (acknowledgement of the value of oil and gas archives)
• The feasibility of a European energy archives portal
• Digitisation models
• Public access and access restrictions
• New frontiers of research on oil and gas through access to new archives and records
• Reports from research centres and oil and gas archives
• The corporate archivist and communication: new skills and opportunities

We invite you to submit papers on the topics listed above. They can be interpreted broadly and we welcome diverse papers within the field. Please submit your abstract by following the links on our website at www.abdn.ac.uk/events/eogan-2013. The submissions deadline is 8 February, 2013. You are also welcome to suggest other themes that you find relevant for this meeting to address. We look forward to receiving your submissions.
