About the Archiving Conference
Since 2004, Archiving has brought an international community of technical experts, managers, practitioners, and academics from cultural heritage institutions, universities, and commercial enterprises together to explore and discuss state-of-the-art imaging, digitization, preservation, and access for 2D, 3D, and AV materials, including documents, manuscripts, photographs, bound volumes, paintings, videos, and born-digital works.
The interdisciplinary focus of the conference creates a rich environment for information exchange. In addition to presenting the latest research results on digitization and curation, Archiving investigates new technologies, strategies, and policies, as well as reports on successful projects that can serve as benchmarks in the field and explores different platforms and ways of visualizing data, allowing for deeper connections with collections.
Archiving 2024 will take place in Washington, DC, April 9-12.
2024 PROGRAM TOPICS
Authors are invited to submit abstracts for peer-review in technical areas related to 2D, 3D, and AV materials in, but not limited to:
