DOCAM '08 is the fifth Annual meeting of the Document Academy, an 
international network of scholars, artists and professionals in various 
fields interested in the exploration of the document as a useful 
approach, concept and tool in Sciences, Arts, Business, and Society. The 
aim of The Document Academy is to create an interdisciplinary space for 
experimental and critical research on documents in a wide sense, drawing 
on traditions and experiences around the world. It originated as a 
co-sponsored effort by The Program of Documentation Studies, University 
of Tromso, Norway and the School of Information, University of 
California, Berkeley.

Papers address the themes of document theory, document analysis, and 
document research (theory, methods, case studies) and cover domains as 
various as politics, art and visual realia, archives, museums, the World 
Wide Web, opera, finance, healthcare, and theatre! Selected papers will 
appear in a special issue of /Archival Science/.

The conference will run from 9 AM Friday, March 28, to 5 PM Saturday, 
March 29, 2008. The keynote speaker is Michael Buckland, Professor 
Emeritus at the School of Information, University of 
California-Berkeley; Co-Director of the Electronic Cultural Atlas 
Initiative (http://www.ecai.org/); and the 2008 NORSLIS (Nordic Research 
School in Library and Information Science) Visiting Professor.

Conference registration is $100, $60 for full-time students; both fees 
include Friday night dinner. To register for the conference and obtain
