Reimagining the Archive: 
Remapping and Remixing Traditional Models in the Digital Era
November 12, 13, 14, 2010
University of California, Los Angeles, James Bridges Theater 

Symposium - Screenings - Speakers 
Opening keynote - Rick Prelinger, archivist, filmmaker, founder Prelinger
Archives.  

Digitality has radically and dynamically transformed the role of traditional
archives and museums as repositories for revered, to-be-safeguarded cultural
objects. As de facto archives created by users and industry organizations
proliferate online; as the social engagement and complexity of Web 2.0
culture expand; and as expansive copyright regimes entail ever more
intrusive forms of monitoring and enforcement, archives' traditional
missions of custody and controlled access are being challenged by the new
habits and expectations of scholars, researchers, and the general public
alike.

We invite archivists, scholars, educators, technology professionals, and
artists to submit 500-word abstracts for PAPERS, PANELS, PRESENTATIONS,
POSTERS, and DEMONSTRATIONS that explore and examine the wide spectrum of
issues influencing and impacting the evolution of archival access, practice,
technology, and research in the digital era.   

Deadline for abstracts is flexible and proposals will be considered as they
are received; preferably before October 1. 
Abstracts should be submitted to digital@ucla.edu.
