University Archivist and head of the Clara Thomas Archives and Special Collections Michael Moir gave a talk on “Archives and the Web” as part of the Research Frontiers series.
The Internet has cast a bright light on the holdings of many archival repositories as institutions seek to meet the demand for substantive virtual content, but use of this technology has raised concerns as well as opportunities. This session will explore the use of the web by archival programs on a local, national, and international basis, issues associated with searching and use of our collective memory, and the future of documents as artifacts in a digital age.
