We also have a few special sessions this year! We’ll do a rerun of our popular “Great Question!” session where attendees can ask anonymous questions in an open forum, and two Birds Of A Feather sessions for BIPOC attendees and Students and New Professionals.

About the BitCurator Users Forum

The BitCurator Users Forum brings together representatives from libraries, archives, museums, and related information professions engaged in or considering digital archival work to acquire, better understand, and make available born-digital materials. The three-day forum will balance discussion of theory and practice of digital archiving and related digital analysis workflows with hands-on activities for users at all levels of experience with digital archival methods in general, including the BitCurator environment, and other tools for use in digital analysis and curation.
