This hybrid two-day international conference open to academics, heritage and cultural institutions, provides a platform to address current societal and technological issues of heritage preservation in digital music archives. These issues include aspects of underrepresentation, digital literacy and inequality, access and public engagement, narration, memory work and many more. Bringing together heritage practitioners and scholars, the conference interrogates digital archiving methods and their impact on music heritage for both traditional institutions and community archives. New tools and engagement mechanisms in the digital sphere will be explored, and participants are invited to report on, develop and discuss creative solutions to the issues they encounter(ed).

New methods of collecting, archiving and sharing.
