>
> The conference is the first of its kind to be held in Australia. It
> will bring together practitioners and decision makers from key
> institutions around the world. It will identify the issues the
> cultural heritage sector faces in providing on-going access to web
> resources and how these are being addressed. Major web archiving
> programs and research projects will be presented.
>
> An Information Day will be held in association with the conference on
> November 12 at which new web archiving tools and methodologies will be
> shown. Details are available on the conference web site.
>
> So far around 30 speakers have agreed to participate in the program.
> Overseas speakers represent a range of institutions including the
> Library of Congress, the Research Libraries Group (RLG), the Council
> on Library and Information Resources (CLIR), Online Computer Library
> Center (OCLC), the national libraries of Canada, France, Germany,
> Sweden, Norway and the Netherlands, the national archives of Canada
> and the United Kingdom, and Cornell and Leiden universities. In
> addition, a number of distinguished Australian speakers are included
> in the program representing the government, archiving, academic and
> cultural sectors.
>
> The conference would appeal to anyone with an interest in preserving
> Australia's cultural heritage in online form - for instance, policy
> makers, publishers, creators, funding bodies and collecting
> institutions. While the key focus is on developments in the library
> and archives sectors the issues that will be explored have much wider
> relevance. The emphasis will be on policy, strategy and approaches
> rather than on technical detail.
