2014-11-20: Archive-It Partners Meeting 2014

I attended the 2014 Archive-It Partners Meeting in Montgomery, AL on November 18. The meeting attendees are representatives from Archive-It partners with interests ranging from archiving webpages about art and music to archiving government webpages. (Presentation slides are now available on the Archive-It wiki .) This is ODU's third consecutive Partners Meeting (see trip reports from 2012 and 2013 ). The morning program was focused on presentations from partners who are building collections. Here's a brief overview of each of those. Penny Baker and Susan Roeper from the Clark Art Institute talked about their experience in archiving the 2013 Venice Biennale international art exhibition ( Archive-It collection ) and plans for the upcoming exhibition. Their collection includes exhibition catalogs, monographs, and press releases about the event. The material also includes a number of videos (mainly from vimeo), which Archive-It can now capture.
