How To/Not To/Why To: Digital Archiving
Henry Lowood, Harold C. Hohbach Curator for the History of Science & Technology Collections and for the Film & Media Collections in the Stanford University Libraries, has over 20 years of experience with digital and software archives. He has written and edited several books on the subjects of software preservation, understanding game histories and digital culture. This event is set up as a guided conversation, discussing work as a curator of historical digital media such as games and software – the good, the bad, and the ugly. It will be led via questions presented by new media artist/curator Bee Nix, who will mediate the questions asked by participants who are virtually present during the event.
