zetcom exhibits at Archiving 2008 Conference

Bern, June 24-27, 2008

The Archiving Conference brings together an international gathering of experts from industry, academia, governmental institutions, non-profit organizations, archives, libraries, museums, and research labs who share a commitment to address the challenges of archiving modern and historical materials in an increasingly digital world.

The center-piece of Archiving 2008 is a stellar program of technical papers, arranged in a single-track format in order to promote the interchange of information on specialties in the field. Each day starts  with a keynote address as follows:

• Wednesday: Jean-Frederic Jauslin, Swiss Federal Office of Culture, “Preserving the Nation's Collective Memory: Challenges, Problems, and Solutions”
• Thursday: Richard Wright, BBC, “Archivists of the World: You Have Nothing to Lose but Your Shelves!”
• Laura Campbell, Library of Congress, “Doing More with Less: The Future of Digital Preservation in a Constrained Fiscal Environment”

The technical program includes 34 oral presentations which are complemented by more than 30 interactive papers which will be presented on Thursday afternoon. The Interactive Paper Session, held on Thursday afternoon, is a key feature of the conference that provides the opportunity for authors and attendees to mingle and discuss results by using a variety of media formats. All technical sessions will take place at the University of Bern which is in the center of the Swiss capital that overlooks the heart of the city.
