We are pleased to announce the Preliminary Program for the fourth IS&T
Archiving Conference to be held May 21-24, 2007 in Arlington, Virginia. The
program is available for download or viewing at
www.imaging.org/conferences/archiving2007. 

The conference will take place at the Crystal City Hilton, a short Metro
ride from Washington DC.

Archiving 2007 will once again assemble an international gathering of
experts from industry, academia, government institutions, not-for-profit
organizations, archives, libraries, museums, and research labs who share a
commitment to addressing the challenges of archiving modern and historic
materials in an increasingly digital world.

While some features of Archiving 2007 will be familiar, at the request of
past attendees we have made enhancements to the program such as more time
for networking and a free tutorial designed to introduce and/or refresh you
to key preservation terms.

The heart of Archiving 2007 is a stellar program of technical papers,
arranged in a single-track format. Each day begins with a keynote address. 

Archiving 2007 also features a comprehensive tutorials program organized
into five tracks: Digital Formats, Introduction to Repositories,
Understanding Imaging Science, Imaging Performance & Digitizing Negatives,
and Conservation of Special Media. Courses are offered on Monday, May 21st,
the day before the technical program begins. 

As in the past, Archiving 2007 attendees will have the opportunity to visit
and tour Washington, DC-area digital preservation operations. All tours will
take place Thursday afternoon and further details will be sent to registered
attendees closer to the dates of the conference. 

Please join us in the Nation’s capital for this unique gathering of
international know-how in digital archiving, imaging, and digital
preservation.
