Submit your proposal thru May 28 for the 2021 BitCurator Users Forum!
Jessica Farrell
The BitCurator Users Forum (BUF) Program Committee is excited to announce that we are now accepting proposals for the 2021 BitCurator Users Forum to be held virtually October 12-14, 2021. An international, community-led organization with 35 member organizations, the BCC promotes and supports the application of digital archives tools and practices in libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural heritage organizations.
In previous years, the BitCurator Users Forum has focused on sharing strategies, approaches, and best practices for using digital archives tools and methods within processing workflows in archives, libraries, and museums. While we still encourage proposals in these topic areas, we also invite community members to explore themes that focus on areas such as starting from scratch, iteration and scalability, implementing “good enough” practices, issues pertaining to access and discovery, and hearing from intersecting perspectives and new voices.
The Program Committee welcomes participation from organizations and individuals working outside of academic and special collections libraries, members from BIPOC communities, students, and new professionals.
The BitCurator Users Forum is open to all. You do not need to be a BCC member or user to submit a proposal and/or attend the event.
The deadline to submit your proposal is May 28.
