DPC Reading Club - web archives
Check your local time for the event here.
One of the challenges of working in a dynamic and evolving field such as digital preservation is the sheer volume of relevant papers and articles that are published every year. It can be a huge challenge for those of us working in this field to find out about these publications, let alone find the time to read them and absorb the contents.
The DPC Reading Club is here to help you! It will not only signpost you to some interesting reading but also provides a place for an informal and friendly chat about the text with other members of the community.
In our 8th DPC Reading Club session we will discuss an article from Kieran Hegarty of RMIT University in Melbourne which explores the biases, inequalities and silences that exist in national web archives.
Kieran Hegarty (2022), "Representing Biases, Inequalities and Silences in National Web Archives: Social, Material and Technical Dimensions", Archives & Manuscripts, 50(1) https://doi.org/10.37683/asa.v50.10209
