APPLYING FORENSICS TO PRESERVING THE PAST: CURRENT ACTIVITIES AND FUTURE
POSSIBILITIES
Workshop Summary
The application of digital forensics to library, archives and museum
(LAM) contexts has gained considerable attention in the past several
years. There is increasing recognition of the benefits that digital
forensics can bring to archival practice: the creation of authentic
copies of data on disks; reflection of the original order of materials;
establishment of more trustworthy chains of custody; discovery and
exposure of associated contextual information; and identification of
sensitive information that should be filtered, redacted or masked in
appropriate ways.
Many institutions have begun to establish workflows that include
elements of digital forensics, such as use of hardware write blockers,
formation of forensic disk images, capture of forensic metadata and
search within disk for various forms of “hidden” data. However, there
are still many gaps in associated research and professional practice.
This one-day workshop will be held in conjunction with the International
Digital Libraries Conference (DL2014). The focus will be on application
of digital forensics to acquisition, processing and preservation of
materials in libraries, archives and museums. Participants will report
on current activities, discuss gaps and opportunities and advance
collective action.
The objectives will be to feature innovate application of digital
forensics in LAMs; report on the current state of the art; identify
challenges, gaps, and opportunities for further collaboration; and
articulate recommendations for future activity.
The workshop will include:
· Personal introductions and overview
· Short talks by individuals reporting on current activities or
future possibilities
· Small group discussions devoted to planning and strategies for
sharing and collaboration in specific areas (based on a clustering of
the submitted papers)
· Discussion among all participants about implications for
collective action
· Formulation of next steps
Instructions for Contributors
Those interested in participating in this workshop should submit a short
(maximum of one-page) paper related to applying digital forensics in
library, archives and museum settings. Accepted submissions will serve
as a basis for short talks and the papers themselves will be
disseminated publicly after the event (contributors will be given an
opportunity to make revisions). Potential areas of focus include (but
are not limited to): current innovative practices; research and
development activities; recommendations for future action; and
educational needs and offerings.
Please format your paper using the ACM template:
