| Judith Gray | "A building that cannot burn down": Cultural Heritage Documentation in Archival Institutions | |
Abstract: A collection such as the Library of Congress’ Archive of Folk Culture is intended to keep materials both safe and, ultimately, accessible. But preservation and access concerns often pull in oppostire directions, perhaps increasingly so in the Web domain. And legal parameters do not resolve all ethical concerns when dealing with intangible properties, and with communities, donors, and researchers.
| Jonathan Kertzer | Smithsonian Global Sound: A New Archival Model for the 21st Century? | |
Abstract: My presentation will describe the creation of the Smithsonian Global Sound project website, to assist archives around the world to digitize and preserve their collections, and to create an aggregation of these previously inaccessible audio holdings online. A major discussion will also be on the intellectual property concerns facing Global Sound, and the approach to equitable solutions.
