Society: TAGAIntroduction to Archiving 2004Preserving our
heritage is important and so much of that heritage is captured day by day in
images and documents. Employing economical methods to save some fraction of that
materials for future generations is vitally important. We are concerned,
furthermore, not only with how we will recover our own images and documents a
generation hence, but how we can retrieve, recover and restore the culturally
and historically important imagery of past generations.This conference
brings together technical experts to discuss the complex and widely varying
topics on archiving. Techniques for preserving, cataloging, indexing and
retrieving images and documents in both digital and human readable formats are
subjects that will be covered in detail. Our goal is to benchmark systems that
might be in place to preserve our digital and hardcopy information for the
future as well as to identify those areas wehre systemsn and technology are not
yet up to the task, and futher research is of high priority.Accordingly the
interfacing of digital and hardcopy preservation strategies, issues of format
obsolescnence, and storage media technoloy are of particular
interest.The Archiving Conference 2004 will include: invited
presentations by recognized experts with extensive experience in this field,
refereed papers, and a series of tutorials to cover the technical basics of
archiving. Special keynote presentations are planned, including one by Gordon
Bell, Microsoft Research on his current MyLifeBits research.Proposed Program

Association of the Graphic Arts) Annual Conference, April
18-21.Invitation and Instructions to AuthorsProspective authors
are invited to submit original papers for presentation in any of the technical
areas listed in the "proposed program topics" section of this brochure. All
submitted papers wil be refereed by the technical committee in order to ensure
that the conference provides significant and timely information to its
participants. Papers should be authoritative and complete in regard to advancing
the state of knowledge in the subject matter. The conference language will be
English.Authors may choose either a 20 minute oral presentation or a
poster presentation with diplay boards. Oral and poster presentationas are
considered of equal importance and merit, and the author's preference for one or
the other will be honored whenever possible.If you wish to submit a
paper, please use the web-based form and process described on the IS&T
website at the following address:<A class=moz-txt-link-freetext

include: Archival properties of paper and other
media Digital format standards
Physics of archival inks Storage for digital
documents Historical archival
successes Lifetimes of various media (magnetic tape, CDs,
DVDs, paper products)San Antonio, TexasAmerican humorist and
homespun philospher Will Rogers, once described San Antonio as "one of America's
four unique cities". From its founding in 1691 by Spanish missionaries, San
Antonio has grown from a sleepy little Texas pueblo to the 9th largest city in
the USA. Along the way, it has been the birthplace of the Texas revolution with
the Battle of the Alamo in 1836 , an important hub of the cattle industry in the
late 1800's, the temporary home of Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders, the
site of HemisFair, a world's fair in 1968, and the home of bioscience and hi
tech industry from the 1980's.Downtown, amid soaring modern office
buildings, you'll find the old Spanish Governor's Palace has been preserved, as
well as La Villita, the site of San Antonio's original settlement, now a
collection of artisans' workshops, restaurants and historic houses. And in the
heart of the city, 20 feet below street level, lies San Antonio's most popular
attraction, the River Walk. There, stretching for approximately two and a half
miles along the tree-shaded banks of the San Antonio River, the diversity of
cafes, shops, galleries and restaurants offer a sampling of San Antonio's many
cultures. And, there on the River Walk, and just aross the street from the
Alamo, is the San Antonio Hyatt, the site of IS&T's Archiving Conference. we
also have the good fortune to have our conference coincide with Fiesta San
Antonio, a 10-day city wide celebration, which includes exciting carnivals,
spectacular sports, fantastic fireworks, lively entertainment, ethnic fests, art
exhibits and sparkling parades that glide down San Antonio's River Walk and
streets.Find out more about San Antonio at <A class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated
