*The Call for Proposals Deadline for the 2023 BitCurator Forum has been EXTENDED!* We will welcome submissions through *October 22, 2022. * *The 2023 BitCurator Forum will be held virtually March 28-30, 2023.* An international, community-led organization with 36 member institutions, the BCC promotes and supports the application of digital archives tools and practices in libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural heritage organizations. In previous years, the BitCurator Forum has focused on sharing strategies, approaches, and best practices for using digital archives tools and methods within processing workflows in archives, libraries, and museums. While we still encourage proposals in these topic areas, we also invite community members to explore themes that focus on areas such as starting from scratch, iteration and scalability, implementing “good enough” practices, issues pertaining to access and discovery, and hearing from intersecting perspectives and new voices. The Forum Committee welcomes participation from organizations and individuals working outside of academic and special collections libraries, members from BIPOC communities, students, and new professionals. *The BitCurator Forum is open to all. You do not need to be a BCC member or user to submit a proposal and/or attend the event. Please note that, like last year, this year’s registration rates will include a $0 option. We will also consider waiving registration fees for speakers.* *Satellite Events* Although the 2023 Forum will be virtual, we encourage in-person satellite events <https://educopia.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=299460903c5acd28e01011bfe&id=2a479c9eea&e=7546412648> to be organized in conjunction with the virtual forum.
