<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif">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. </font></div>

from the Internet Archive. Participation is free but there are some specific requirements (see below) and the number of participants is limited to 25. You can sign up for the workshop when registering. Please note that some parallel sessions will run concurrently
with the workshop. The organisers will make sure that attendees who sign up for the workshop will not present in any of the parallel sessions on Tuesday afternoon.</div>

<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; ">About the workshop:</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; ">This workshop will explore new methods of research use of web archives by giving researchers exposure to, and training in, the tools, methods, and types of analysis possible in working with datasets
extracted from entire web archive collections. Giving researchers datasets of specific extracted metadata elements, longitudinal link graph data, extracted named entities, and other post-processed data can help facilitate new research methods and new types
of visualization, inquiry, and analysis. Requirements: Participants will need to have a laptop and have access to a Unix/Linux environment, either via a Mac (or Linux OS) or, for Windows users, via a related OS, such as Ubuntu, running in VirtualBox (or similar).
Participants should have very basic comfort interacting with the command line (Terminal). Prior to the workshop, attendees will be given links for downloading the necessary scripts, code templates, and data. Participants will need to have the ability to install
software on their laptops and will be provide basic instruction for installing the tools necessary for visualizing the data we will be working with in the workshop. Attendees need not have great technical proficiency, but should be comfortable playing around
with data and have an open-minded spirit towards working with and visualizing datasets. Any questions about the workshop can be directed to <a href="mailto:jefferson@archive.org">jefferson@archive.org</a> and <a href="mailto:vinay@archive.org">vinay@archive.org</a>.</div>
