Rhizome Communications, Inc.

Rhizome, in collaboration with the University of California at Riverside Library (UCR), the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH), and the Documenting the Now project, will design and host a National Forum on Ethics in Web Archiving. The three-day meeting will convene many stakeholder groups, including representatives from libraries, archives, and museums, socially engaged artists, activists, and members of community organizations, and interdisciplinary practitioners such as social media researchers and lawyers. Participants will discuss the ethical challenges, both technical and social, involved in archiving the web and social media. Following the forum, a best practices white paper and proceedings will be published.
