Archiving Web Resources
Issues for Cultural Heritage Institutions
International Conference, 9-11 November 2004

Web resources form an important part of a nation’s documentary and cultural heritage. Collecting institutions with responsibility for providing long-term access to these resources face many issues in performing their role effectively.

The National Library of Australia, with support from the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA), is hosting an international conference,
Archiving Web Resources: Issues for Cultural Heritage Institutions
, in November 2004. The conference aims to explore approaches and identify the most important issues associated with collecting, managing and providing ongoing access to web resources. 

Over three days, from 9–11 November 2004, participants will have the opportunity to
hear the views of leaders from organisations around the world with experience and
knowledge of the issues in this area.  The conference will also focus on international research in
the field, including the work of the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC). 
A one-day workshop following the conference will provide demonstrations of
digital archiving tools and systems.

The conference, to be held at the National Library of Australia in Canberra, will be of
interest and value to all people involved or interested in developing and managing
national documentary heritage collections.
