DCDC22 Conference call for papers
Inclusive Innovation: digital creativity and opportunities
DCDC (Discovering Collections, Discovering Communities) is a cross-sectoral conference, hosted by The National Archives, RLUK and Jisc, that brings together the GLAMA sector
(galleries, libraries, archives, museums and academia) to share our experiences, innovations, interests and concerns.

DCDC22
will showcase how digital innovation is transforming the cultural heritage and academic sectors and their relationship with their audiences. From individual projects, to national programmes, for organisations and groups large and small, we look forward to
examining the opportunities and challenges that digital technologies and collaboration can offer.
Emerging technologies have brought considerable benefits to cultural heritage organisations, transforming approaches to institutional collections, our ways of working, and the
way people discover and engage with collections. As research continues to drive innovation, how can we ensure that our practices remain relevant, open, inclusive, representative and transformative? How can our practices in turn enable new innovations?
Technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and virtual and augmented reality are strengthening access to collections and renewing audience engagement
across the GLAMA sector. At the same time, these technologies also raise questions around representation and ethics. DCDC22 is an opportunity for colleagues to share knowledge and experience within the GLAMA community. We will explore how to build accessible,
inclusive systems and promote greater access and engagement between our institutions, communities and groups.
Championing creativity and talent within the GLAMA sector and exploring digital solutions at scale, DCDC22 is a forum for knowledge-exchange between organisations and individuals
at all levels. We will explore how research is reimagining how our collections are formed and preserved, how audiences engage with and contribute to our work, and how we plan for the future.
