About This Event

The SCA Annual Conference 2026 will take place on November 3rd at Gorgie Suite, Tynecastle Park, Heart of Midlothian FC in Edinburgh. The conference explores how archives and records underpin democracy, accountability, creativity, wellbeing and community.

Join us for this year's conference exploring how archives and records underpin democracy, accountability, creativity, wellbeing & community.

Inspired by the theme of The National Archives’ new vision document, launched earlier this year, we want to highlight the impact of archives and records across every aspect of society. This year, we're bringing together voices from across the sector to share how archives and recordkeeping contribute to a more transparent, vibrant and healthier society.

Whether you work in archives, records management, conservation, community archives, research, education, or policy — this conference is for you.

The call for papers is currently open. Full programme published: w/b 28th September.

Tickets are £45 inclusive of booking fee.
