FW: [SCC_Active_Members] [Fwd: Jan. 18 Digital Preservation Symposium]

[H.M. Gladney]

As discussed on Wednesday, I attended most of this meeting, with two
questions in mind.

(1) What might the Computer History Museum's (CHM's) Software Preservation
Group (SPG) learn from the community represented by the speakers?
(2) What does this community know about digital preservation that it did not
already know two years ago?

Regrettably, I must report that, in my opinion of what I could glean from
yesterday's meeting, the answers to both questions is "Nothing".

I will be happy to report more generally about yesterday's meeting at the
next SPG meeting that I can attend.  (I'm uncertain about being able to
attend on 21st February.)

Cheerio, Henry

This looks interesting; unfortunately I'll be out of town.

New Media & Social Memory
Jan. 18, 2007
UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive
http://bampfa.berkeley.edu/ciao

The UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive is proud to present New
Media & Social Memory, a public symposium to discuss strategies for
preserving digital art at a time when digital technologies are evolving and
becoming obsolete at an astonishingly rapid pace. While focussing on digital
art, the symposium will also address larger concerns about the long-term
conservation of our increasingly digital culture, including how we decide
what digital materials - from Web sites to video games - are worth saving.
The full day of presentations and panel discussions by leading experts in
the field of digital preservation, including Stewart Brand and Bruce
Sterling, will be held in the museum theater on Thursday, Jan. 18.

This symposium is open to the public free of charge; however, whether you
come for part of the day or the whole day, online registration is requested
to save a seat. See attached image for program. For more information or to
register, visit http://bampfa.berkeley.edu/ciao.
