Presentation

The 3rd Iberian Cross-Border Archives Meeting will take place on 2–4 July in Vila Viçosa, Portugal, under the theme Archives, collaborative work, and digital transition.

This is a joint initiative involving institutions from the Iberian world, bringing together professionals, specialists, and other stakeholders around archives and related fields.

The previous Meeting was held on 13–14 June 2024, in Huelva, Spain, under the theme Archivos: Caminando Hacia La IA. Two years on, it is timely to bring professionals and specialists together again to examine the progress achieved in cross-border archives and across the Iberian world, now exploring, in 2026, the dynamics of collaborative work and the challenges and opportunities of the digital transition—topics that shape the present and have long-term implications.

Accordingly, the Organising Committee encourages the archival community and other specialists from Portugal and Spain to submit paper proposals under the following panels/sub-themes:

  • Panel I: Digital Transition in Archives
  • Panel II: Collaborative Work in Archives
