The Internet Archive and the New York Art Resources Consortium (NYARC) invite applicants for Exploring web archives as data: An introduction to data analysis and instruction. The daylong workshop will be hosted by the National Gallery of Art Library in Washington, DC, on July 25, 2023, preceding ARCHIVES*RECORDS 2023.
Description
Every day, significant cultural production occurs globally across the web. As a medium that can be both the repository for records and a form of record itself, the web presents challenges of scale and complexity for those that seek to preserve modern history and integrate it in research and teaching.
Participants in this workshop will learn web archive research use cases, how to create archival research collections from the web, and how to analyze web archive collection data computationally. They will gain hands-on experience using the Internet Archive’s software services Archive-It and ARCH, and widely supported tools for cultural data exploration and visualization.
Support for participation:
This full-day workshop led by Internet Archive staff is free, however registration is limited. Thanks to the generous support from the Institute for Museum and Library Services, travel stipends (up to $1,000 each) are available to offset participants’ air and/or ground transportation, parking, two nights’ lodging, and food costs incurred to join us at NGA.
Call for applications
Please submit an application to attend. There is no prerequisite and all are welcome and encouraged to apply, but space is limited. The priority deadline for all applications is May 18, 2023. If your application is accepted, we will follow up with you no later than May 25, 2023.
