LISTSERV 16.5 - DLF-MUSEUMS-COHORT Archives

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.

Support for participants:

This full-day workshop led by Internet Archive staff is free, however registration is limited. Thanks to the generous support from the Institute for Museum and Library Services, travel stipends (up to $1,000 each) are available to offset participants’ air and/or ground transportation, parking, two nights’ lodging, and food costs incurred to join us at NGA.

Please submit an application to attend. There is no prerequisite, and all are welcome and encouraged to apply, but space is limited. The priority deadline for all applications is May 18, 2023. If your application is accepted, we will follow up with you no later than May 25, 2023.

Best regards,
