==========
 
Dear Colleagues,
 
The editorial board of Archive Journal (archivejournal.net) is pleased to
announce an upcoming issue, "Curating the Digital, Curating the Analog,"
which will explore how data curation shapes and informs library, archival,
scholarly, and pedagogical practices.
 
Understood as the "active and ongoing management of data through its life
cycle of interest and usefulness to scholarly and educational activities"
(Data Curation Education Program,
http://cirss.lis.illinois.edu/CollMeta/dcep.html), data curation
encompasses selection and appraisal, description and representation,
preservation, and the work of making a resource usable and repurposable.
How we store, represent, and provide access to data affects not only those
in the world of libraries, archives, and museums, but also scholars,
faculty, students, and artists across the disciplines. What role does data
play in fields such as the digital humanities, or media studies? How does
data curation involve or affect scholarly production, or approaches to
pedagogy?
 
Guest editors, Patricia Hswe and Erin O'Meara, invite submissions on data
curation that address new practitioner roles, new types of scholarship, new
storage needs, and new stories that are fast emerging. Possible topics for
contributions include - but are not limited to - the following:
 
- Data and archives
- Data curation practices and challenges
- Curation of born-digital materials
- Humanities data curation issues and practices (including management of
data for humanities projects)
- Data curation program development
- Legacy data
- Digital forensics
- Curating a mixed media collection (e.g., print and digital)
- Donors and digital donations
- Ethnographic methods and data curation
- Creator attitudes toward, or perceptions of, data curation
- New roles for librarians, archivists, curators, researchers
- Description methods and data models (e.g., metadata, finding aids,
ontologies, etc.)
- Tools, applications, platforms
 
We invite proposals for contributions of 5000-7000 words; shorter essays
(2000-4000 words) about new tools or services are also welcome. We
encourage proposals that include multimedia components (video, image, or
sounds in standard formats), as well as multi-modal or experimental
formats; please contact the editors with any questions about submissions in
alternative formats. An open-access, peer-reviewed journal, Archive
Journal seeks
content that speaks to its diverse audience of librarians, scholars,
archivists, and technologists (http://archivejournal.net/journal/home/about/
).
 
Authors interested in submitting to this special issue of Archive
Journal should
send a 250-word abstract about their contribution and a 1-page CV to
PatriciaHswe (Digital Collections Curator, Penn State University Libraries)
at patric...@gmail.com and to Erin O'Meara (Archivist, Gates Archive)
at omear...@gmail.com <omera...@gmail.com> by Monday, July 30. The
deadline for completed submissions (i.e., based on accepted proposals)
is *Wednesday,
October 10.*
