Conference: Hybrid Architectural Archives, creating, managing and using digital archives June 10, 2009

In a two day conference in June 2009, the NAi aims to map the development of research and experiences in creating, consuming and using digital architectural archives.

Conference 11/12 June 2009
Hybrid Architectural Archives: Creating, Managing and Using Digital Archives
Netherlands Architecture Institute, Rotterdam

For architectural archives, digital files are not just a new kind of datacarrier as was the case with microfilm. Digital materials require much more attention to be handled, described and stored in a consistent, safe and persistent way than paper or film. The awareness that our digital heritage is much more fragile than paper archives slowly starts to pervade the cultural heritage community. While some institutions are already testing e-repository test beds, most organisations are still searching for technical solutions for the new hybrid environment in which paper archives are accompanied by digital files.
