Welcome, Awards, and Keynote, Digital Preservation 2016 (3:15PM Wednesday, November 9, 2016)


“Confronting Our Failure of Care Around the Legacies of Marginalized People in the Archives”

Keynote: Bergis Jules, UC-Riverside

Who gets represented in the digital historical record is closely tied to who writes the software, who builds the tools, who produces the technical standards, and who provides the resources for that work. This talk will address the lack of representation in the digital preservation space, the implications, and what we can gain from diversifying and making that space more inclusive.
