CARTA Information Session
We will be hosting a Collaborative ART Archive (CARTA) information session on November 8th! Please join us to learn about CARTA, a collaborative team of art libraries building collections of web archives related to art history and contemporary art practice. Through a consortial approach, the project leverages shared infrastructure, expertise, and collecting activities amongst participating organizations, scaling the extent of web-published, born-digital materials preserved and accessible for art scholarship and research. We hope to see you there!
