About the IS&T Archiving Conference
Since 2004, the Imaging Science and Technology (IS&T) Archiving conference has been bringing together an international community of technical experts, managers, practitioners, and academics from cultural heritage institutions, universities, and commercial enterprises, to explore and discuss state-of-the-art imaging, digitization, preservation, and access for 2D, 3D, and AV materials, including documents, manuscripts, photographs, bound volumes, paintings, videos, and born-digital works.
The interdisciplinary focus of the conference creates a rich environment for information exchange. In addition to presenting the latest research results on digitization and curation, Archiving investigates new technologies, strategies, and policies, as well as reports on successful projects that can serve as benchmarks in the field and explores different platforms and ways of visualizing collection data, allowing for deeper connections with collections.
This year’s Archiving 2023 conference (#Archiving2023) will take place in Oslo, Norway, the week of June 19-23, and will feature final presentations from the CHANGE—Cultural Heritage Analysis for New Generations—program. Program topics will cover areas related to 2D, 3D, and AV materials including, but not limited to: Digitization / Imaging, Preservation / Archiving, Access / Presentation, and Management and Assessment.
