They contain vast amounts of information relevant to social sciences and humanities but at the same time they are underutilized material of intangible cultural heritage. Crucially, the fragmentation of archives, repositories, and data centres undermines the accessibility and reuse of oral archives. The conference aims at discussing possibilities for a closer collaboration between speech scientists, conversation analysists, speech technologists and oral historians. Potential questions include: * What are the challenges involved in the re-use of speech and oral archives collected for other purposes? * What kind of opportunities do oral archives provide for speech technology? * What do linguistic uses of historical narratives look like? What are the opportunities and challenges of using oral history archives in linguistic research? What are the opportunities and challenges of phonetic tools for oral history and social sciences? In what ways could oral historians profit from a closer collaboration? * What are the challenges involved in the long-term preservation and in the metadata description of digital archives? What are the challenges and the risks associated to legal and ethical issues? * What are the opportunities and the threats associated to online audio archives sharing? What are the long-established standards and the welcomed ones? What are the online share-platforms and the forthcoming projects? What are the opportunities at EU level for the preservation and maintenance of audio archives? Following the tradition of AISV conferences, the programme will also include open sessions on any aspect of speech science research. The languages of the conference are Italian and English. Power Point presentations and posters should be written in English. HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT: Authors are invited to submit an abstract by 25 September. Abstracts should be written in English or Italian, and should be restricted to 4000 characters (including spaces) and two pages in A4 format, including graphs and references.
