On behalf of the 2026 Research Forum Committee, we invite you to submit abstracts (of 300 words or fewer) for either 10-minute platform presentations or 5-minute lightning talks. Topics may address research on, or innovations in, any aspect of archives practice or records management in government, corporate, academic, scientific, or other settings.

The 2026 Research Forum will be conducted as two Zoom-based virtual sessions, each four hours long, on July 8, 12:00-4:00 p.m. CT and July 15, 12:00-4:00 p.m. CT.

The 2026 Research Forum will be made up of 10-minute platform presentations and 5-minute lightning talks.
