Over the years, we at #ArtsTech have spent a lot of time discussing the benefits of going digital--getting projects, collections and catalogs up online so that they can better connect with audiences, become more accessible and discoverable, and perhaps even better contextualized in cross-institutional educational resources like Google Art Project.
But digital is a temperamental mistress that is susceptible to the rapidly changing whims of technology, making formats and standards obsolete faster than they can become fully integrated. It's time we took a look at what digital means for conservation and archiving. What are we in danger of losing? Â Is there a "best practices" approach? Â And what are the unique challenges (and potential solutions) faced by conservators and archivists working in the digital space?
**Huge thanks to Ryan Anthony Donaldson and Lindsay Howard for their help in putting together this event.**
