'Web Archives as scholarly Sources: Issues, Practices and Perspectives'<br>
A two-day conference, Aarhus University, Denmark, 8-10 June 2015<br>
<br>
The submission website is open at <a href="http://events.netlab.dk/conference">http://events.netlab.dk/conference</a>. Please note that the deadline for submissions is 8 December. There will be no extension of this deadline.<br>
<br>
In March 2014, the web celebrated its twenty-fifth birthday. This vast information resource is of enormous importance to scholars, both as a primary source and as a means of networking and communication. It is, however, strikingly ephemeral, and much important
data has already been lost. The archiving of this vast range of material, so that it is accessible to both contemporary and future researchers, increasingly occupies national memory institutions, and researchers are also beginning to realise and explore its
value. This conference seeks to explore the potential of web archives for scholarly use, to highlight innovative research, to investigate the challenges and opportunities of working with the archived web, to identify opportunities for incorporating web archives
in learning and teaching, and to discuss and inform archival provision. This multi-disciplinary conference is aimed at scholars, web archiving institutions, web archivists, curators, IT-developers, companies and public institutions interested in web archiving
and research using web archives. In conjunction with the overall topic of web archives, general areas of interest include, but are not limited to:<br>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span> the history(ies) of the web<br>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span> the changing structure of the web<br>
