Boost your interdisciplinary web archive collaboration

Web archives are intimidating. You’re dealing with size and scale issues, wild formats from the live web, and just a massive amount of information to sift through. But, we can’t hide our heads in the sand, and ignore it. This is our cultural heritage, and we need to make sense of it.

You definitely don’t want to tackle this alone, and the good news is that has been a lot of work done already, and there are a lot of great people working here.

Nick Ruest will discuss the research and tools he is working on with an interdisciplinary team of collaborators from fields as varied as history, political science, sociology, and computer science to help make sense of it all.
