Please let me know if you'd be interested in participating in the following
session which I've proposed for the 2005 Boston conference:
The Other Side of the Coin: Not All Assets Are Created Equal
While much time and energy is spent debating how to preserve digital assets
for the long term, not much has been spent on discussing the decisions of
when not to preserve these assets. Yet not all assets need to be kept for
the long haul. For example, a teaching collection of art history images
requires regular and judicious weeding. Do all images of a press conference
need to be preserved for time immemorial? Do black and white images long
superceded by better color images need to be preserved? This session will
explore these ideas and questions, from the viewpoint of an academic slide
collection and two or three museum collections.
