A talk session, all about archives.

Archives house and carefully curate untold wonders that come along with accurate, reliable metadata ripe for your next DH project.  Let’s have a free-ranging discussion of successes and failures, ongoing projects or opportunities, complaints and praise of scanning projects, web archives, digital preservation, big data, permanent retention, and where to find stuff.  Ideally, this conversation would culminate in a brainstorming session of “I think it would be sooo awesome for my research if we could/had access to/ had a tool for/ etc. ”

About me:  Head of Special Collections and University Archivist at Northeastern, I’ve worked in various libraries and archives since 1997.
