The Internet Archive and the New York
Art Resources Consortium (NYARC) invite applicants for Exploring
Web Archives as Data: An introduction to data analysis and instruction. This
daylong workshop will be hosted by the National Gallery of Art Library in Washington, DC, on
July 25, 2023, preceding ARCHIVES*RECORDS
2023.
Every day, significant cultural production
occurs globally across the web. As a medium that can be both the repository for records and a form of
record itself, the web presents challenges of scale and complexity for those that seek to preserve modern history
and integrate it in research and teaching.
Workshop participants will learn web archive
research use cases, how to create archival research collections from the web, and how to analyze web
archive collection data computationally. They will gain hands-on experience using the Internet Archive’s collecting
software service Archive-It and
research dataset platform ARCH as
well as widely supported tools for cultural data exploration and visualization. Learn more about our two most recent
workshops (held in conjunction with the ACRL and ARLIS/NA conferences this spring) in this blog
post.
