Meeting Announcement and Call for PapersIS&T Archiving ConferenceHeld in conjunction with TAGA's Annual Conference, April 18-21
How will we recover our images and documents a year, a decade, a generation or a century from now? How we will store and preserve documents now so as to enable future access? How can we retrieve, recover and restore materials of personal and cultural significance? The Archiving Conference 2004 will address the complex and widely varying topics in the field of archiving by bringing together technical experts both from industry and from cultural institutions (libraries, archives and museums) engaged in long-term preservation. The goals are to benchmark the systems in place for preserving digital and hardcopy information and to identify the areas needing further research. The technical papers program is arranged in a single-track format to promote the interchange of information across specialties in the field. We will start each day with a keynote address. The keynote speakers include Laura E. Campbell, Associate Librarian for Strategic Initiatives at the Library of Congress on “A National Preservation Strategy: Challenges and Opportunities”; Judy Russell, Superintendent of Documents at the U.S. Government Printing Office on “Preservation and Authentication of Government Information: Are we ready for the 21st Century?”; Gordon Bell, Senior Researcher at Microsoft Research on “Storing Everything Personal: What are the Implications?”; and Clifford A. Lynch, Executive Director of the Coalition for Networked Information on “Rethinking Stewardship for the Digital Age.” As with most IS&T conferences, the Interactive Poster session is a key feature, providing the opportunity for presenters and attendees to mingle and discuss results presented using a variety of media formats. The authors in the Interactive Poster Session will have the opportunity to introduce their work through one-minute "spotlight" talks at the beginning of the session. Another important feature of the program is the tutorials. Tutorials are organized into tracks and are offered on Tuesday, the day before the papers program starts, and on Thursday. You may choose to follow a single track all day or personalize your course program to meet your educational or professional needs. Special events are planned as well. The Conference Reception will be held Wednesday evening. On Thursday evening, we will feature a fascinating talk from Dusan Stulik of the Getty Conservation Institute on “Niepce and the Beginning of Photography”. On Friday, there will be a roundtable discussion on the impact of the digital culture on archiving and preservation. An excellent tutorial program, outstanding keynote speakers, and a paper program with high-level speakers from all around the world are waiting for you in San Antonio. Please plan to join us for the first IS&T Archiving Conference.
