Please join us for the ALCTS PARS Preservation Metadata Interest Group Meeting at ALA Annual 2015 in San Francisco. Our program will begin with a short business meeting and the election of an incoming co-chair. The session will focus on pragmatic implementations of preservation metadata for two tricky content types, web archives and digital media art objects. Date: Saturday, June 27, 2015 Time: 3:00–4:00 p.m. Location: Moscone Convention Center, 2008 (W) Add this meeting to your schedule: http://alaac15.ala.org/node/29187 *Don't WARC Away: Preservation Metadata for Web Archives* *Maria LaCalle, Web Archivist, Internet ArchiveJefferson Bailey, Director of Web Archiving Programs, Internet Archive* As more institutions include web archives in their digital collections, creating preservation metadata to support the long term stewardship of these files is a newly emerging challenge. Archive-It, a web archiving service of the Internet Archive, works with over 360 partner institutions across the globe, providing tools for harvesting, managing, and accessing archived web content. This talk will explore how Archive-It partners incorporate preservation metadata into their web archiving programs, the development of tools and workflows to support this work, and the unique challenges web archives present to digital preservation metadata. *In the Service of Art: Metadata for Preservation of Digital Artworks* *Jason Kovari, Head of Metadata Services, Cornell University* In February 2013, the Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art, part of Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, received a $300,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to develop PAFDAO (Preservation and Access Frameworks for Complex Digital Media Art Objects). PAFDAO’s test collection includes more than 300 interactive born-digital artworks created for CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, and web distribution, many of which date back to the early 1990s. Though vitally important to understanding the development of media art and aesthetics over the past two decades, these materials are at serious risk of degradation and are unreadable without obsolete computers and software. This talk will reference the larger workflow of the project and how metadata decisions were made in order to ensure long-term preservation and use of these complex digital media art objects, most of which contain many elaborate interdependencies. We hope to see you there! Chelcie Juliet Rowell, Preservation Metadata IG Co-Chair (2013-2015) Digital Initiatives Librarian Z.
