Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the iPRES 2023 Program Committee, we are very pleased to
announce that the Call for Contributions for iPRES 2023
<https://ipres2023.us/call-for-contributions/> is now open.

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the Chicago Collections
Consortium will host iPRES 2023 from September 19-23, 2023. With an
incredible diversity of experiences and knowledge to share, we are excited
to facilitate connections between digital preservation researchers and
practitioners from all over the world.

iPRES 2023 will be a hybrid conference. We invite original contributions
that will develop new directions for preservation research, practice, and
policy; discuss trends in the field that will influence future work; and
explore new ways of understanding the changing nature of information. We
welcome submissions from researchers and practitioners who work with
digital objects in a variety of contexts. Our goal is to foster an
interdisciplinary dialogue about the challenges and opportunities for
preserving the world's digital content over time, while strengthening the
capacity, resiliency, and equity of the digital preservation community.
While we strongly encourage on-site participation for those presenting on
the program, a limited number of remote presentation opportunities will be
provided.

Call for Contributions

At this time, we welcome full papers and short papers, as well as proposals
for workshops, tutorials, posters, and panel discussions. (Please note that
a call for ad hoc contributions will be released on May 8th, 2023.) All
submissions are welcomed, especially those which relate to the overall
conference theme Digital Preservation in Disruptive Times. We reflect on
our responsibility not only to foster preservation, but also to ensure that
society can make use of the incredible amount of data, information, and
records that we are stewarding—or that have not been, to date, incorporated
into our libraries, archives, and museums. Taking this theme as a point of
departure, iPRES 2023 encourages contributions that address any of the
following topics:

   -

   Digital Accessibility, Inclusion, and Diversity
   -

   Sustainability: Real and Imagined
   -

   We’re All in this Together
   -

   From Theory to Practice
   -

   Immersive Information

We particularly welcome contributions from researchers and practitioners
who are directly involved in digital preservation projects or who have a
strong interest in the subject matter. We encourage submissions from those
working at all levels within the field. This includes project leaders and
those with initiatives to advance digital preservation as part of their
work or professional responsibilities.
You can find details about the submission process and the conference topics
now online at ipres2023.us. Please remember that this Call will close on March
10, 2023, and that there is no intention to extend the Call for
Contributions beyond this date.
