The sixth IS&T Archiving Conference offers an outstanding program.

An international group of experts from industry, academia, government, archives, libraries, and museums will share the latest information about digital stewardship and preservation imaging.

Each day begins with a keynote address from leading experts:

Tuesday: Steve Knight, associate director, National Digital Library, National Library of New Zealand: Building a Digital Archive and Digital Preservation Management Solution

Wednesday: Dan Clancy, engineering director, Google Book Search Project: Present Status and Next Steps for the Google Book Search Project

Thursday: Clifford Lynch, executive director, Coalition for Networked Information: Challenges and Opportunities for Digital Stewardship in the Era of Hope and Crisis

The program includes two dozen oral presentations and a host of interactive papers. Interactive papers are a key feature of the conference, providing an opportunity for authors and attendees to delve into issues in an informal setting. Sessions will take place at the Hilton Crystal City at Washington Reagan National Airport in Arlington, VA, which is minutes away via Metro or car from the heart of Washington, DC.

In addition to a strong program, the meeting features a fine series of short courses that offer authoritative information about a number of timely topics. We are especially pleased to have an impressive array of instructors for the classes.

The conference is an excellent venue to hear about practical tools, services, and other resources that can be put to use right now to protect our digital heritage. There are also many networking opportunities to meet a broad range of people working in the field.

Join us for this useful and stimulating meeting to learn about the latest developments in the world of digital stewardship and preservation imaging.
