Internet Archive

The Internet Archive, in partnership with the New York Art Resources Consortium (NYARC), will host a national forum to catalyze collaboration among art libraries in the stewardship of historically valuable art-related materials published on the web. In addition to the forum meeting, the project will include preliminary research and needs assessment, hands-on technology training for forum participants, and publications summarizing program activities and outlining a roadmap for future collaboration. This work will advance the mission of the art library community to serve its users and stakeholders, seed a national-scale effort towards cooperative curation and services, and advance the overall stewardship of born-digital collections within this community.
