The Centre for the Study of Health and Society at the University of Melbourne and the Australian Science Archives Project are planning a one day conference to discuss ethical, legal, research and technical aspects of the preservation of medical records and archives.

This is an exploratory meeting, which aims to bring together a wide range of participants from medical records administration, medical museums, hospital administration, state and federal health departments, archivists and major research funding organisations.

Issues to be explored will include:

• The impact of electronic record keeping on the security and longevity of medical records.
• The implications for records and artefacts resulting from hospital closures.
• Privatisation and outsourcing and its implications for management accountability and the preservation of corporate knowledge.
• Access and Management of records and artefacts.
