DIGITAL LIVES RESEARCH CONFERENCE 2009 
Monday 9 February to Wednesday 11 February 2009 at the British Library, 
London 
Scientists, historians, writers and IT specialists will come together to address 
the challenge of organising and preserving personal digital archives at the first 
ever Digital Lives Research Conference, which will be inaugurated by British 
Library Chief Executive Dame Lynne Brindley. 
The conference will address (i) how libraries and archives can help all people 
whose lives are becoming increasingly digital – particularly academics – to 
secure, preserve and organise their personal archives of digital photographs, 
documents, correspondence and multimedia, for themselves and their families; 
and (ii) the possibility of establishing relationships with providers of online 
services and social systems technologies. 
Topics will range from digital curation and digital preservation to the creation 
of personal digital archives and their use by historians, biographers and 
scientists. 
Highlights include: 
• Keynote Lectures by biographers Georgina Ferry and Andrew Lycett, 
psychologist Charles Fernyhough, historian Orlando Figes, and archivist 
Dorothy Sheridan of the Mass Observation Archive 
• Invited Presentations by George Oates, member of founding team at Flickr, 
Simone Brunozzi of Amazon Web Services and Ian Hughes of IBM
• Keynote Presentations by computer scientists Mark Baker of University of 
Reading, Peter Bentley of University College London, Annamaria Carusi of 
University of Oxford, Jon Crowcroft of University of Cambridge, Kieron O'Hara 
of University of Southampton and Dave Taylor of Imperial College London. 
• A Writers in Conversation session on the creation of digital archives, 
featuring Tony Benn, Dame Antonia Byatt and Wendy Cope, and chaired by 
pioneering computer scientist Dame Wendy Hall 
• Day 3 of the conference will involve the participation of visitors and 
inhabitants of virtual world Second Life, with the conference broadcast onto 
the Elucian Islands , the Second Life home of Nature Publishing Group and 
Macmillan Publishers. There will be a keynote lecture by Timo Hannay, 
Publishing Director at Nature.com
• A presentation on ‘Digital Life at the Extremes' by polar explorer Ben 
Saunders

The first day of the conference will focus on the latest approaches to curating 
digital objects and archives. The second day will look at the development of 
such archives from the point of view of the creators and researchers – 
writers, scientists and historians. The third day will offer an overview of life 
online and digital archives as they are developing at present. The conference
