Call for Papers
Preservation 2000: An International Conference on the Preservation and Long Term Accessibility of Digital Materials
7/8 December** 2000 York England.
**The Research Libraries Group and the Cedars Project will also be organising a workshop on preservation metadata for the 6th December to be linked to the conference.
As we enter the new millennium, many organisations and individuals share concerns about our ability to bring with us the vast array of digital materials accumulated in libraries, archives, museums and other cultural and heritage organisations. The Consortium of University Research Libraries (CURL) in the UK, through the Cedars project, funded through the JISC eLib programme, has been developing strategic, methodological and practical guidance for libraries and archives in best practice for digital preservation. Over the past 2 years, Cedars has been actively promoting awareness about the importance of digital preservation both amongst university libraries and archives and amongst the data creating and data supplying communities upon which they depend.
Preservation 2000 promises to bring together experts and enthusiasts from a variety of disciplines and organisations to discuss and debate recent advances in this critical area. This state of the art conference will make the most of both the interdisciplinary and international dimensions which are key to facing the challenges imposed by long term access to digital objects.
The aim of the conference is to facilitate meaningful dialogue between the wide array of organisations and individuals currently working with digital archives and preservation. The main goal for the conference is to share, disseminate and discuss current key issues concerning the preservation of digital materials.
The conference aims to focus the programme around three main strands:
*Content and selection issues for long term preservation *Models for digital archives including technical and organisational issues related to access and management *Economic and Cost Modelling for digital preservation
We invite submissions in ALL areas of digital archiving and preservation, including (but not limited to) the following:
*Exemplars for the establishment of digital archives systems and services *Management practices commonly required by libraries and archives in addressing the longevity of digital collections *Business models for digital archives (e.g. collaborative or federated repositories) *Frameworks for the development of digital collection management policies including selection or materials *Intellectual property rights: digital preservation issues *Security, authentication and authenticity in digital archives *Electronic publishing and digital archives
SUBMISSIONS Prospective authors are asked to submit an abstract of no more than 500 words describing their paper by NO LATER THAN 30 May. Notification of acceptance will be made by 30 July. A provisional Programme will be available by 30 August. Authors are encouraged to submit papers electronically and, in particular, in postscript (or PDF) format.
The Conference Proceedings will be available on the web.
