This
is a reminder to the librarians dealing with digital files out there that the
2009 Archiving meeting will be held in Arlington, Virginia at the Hilton
Crystal City, May 4 to 7. Registration information just went up this week. For
convenience, I’ve summarized the program (mostly minus authors to save
space). There are two sessions: Digital Collection Stewardship and Imaging and
Preservation. Interactive talks are what many conferences calls posters.
However, here the presenters have a couple of minutes to give a speed summary
about their poster and then are available with their poster displays later for
one-on-one discussions. Prior to the meeting, there are nine short
courses being offered (listed first below) running from two to six hours each.
I listed the keynote addresses next followed by formal papers and finally the
interactive papers. Remember that this meeting is intended as a place for
archivists and librarians to meet with scientists and engineers. For
