The opening of the Leuven exhibition coincides with the ultimate days of
EuropeanaPhotography’s project term. Small wonder that a project plenary
meeting and a scientific conference have been aligned with the official
vernissage.
After a day (28 January) of dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s, reviewing the results of the consortium’s endeavors, and discussing its future plans as the association PHOTOCONSORTIUM, the conference on 29 and 30 January will be devoted to The Impact of Digitization on Photographic Heritage: Memories Reframed.
Hosted by CS Digital (KU Leuven) and the Lieven Gevaert Centre for Photography in Campus Library Arenberg, this event aims at assembling scholars from the field of photography and professionals from photo-archives, in order to develop an understanding of responsible archival practices towards photographic heritage in the context of the promotion of public access through digital portals.
Topics to be tackled: archival practices for photographic heritage, digitization and preservation, Europeana, public exposure and the archival mission. Confirmed key note speakers at present are Elizabeth Edwards (De Montfort University, Leicester - UK) and Simon Tanner (King's College, London - UK). Next to their contributions, the program includes collection pitches by all content providers involved in EuropeanaPhotography, presentations from ‘befriended’ Europeana-projects and a roundtable on IPR with a.o. Charlotte Waelde (University of Exeter - UK) and Nathalie Doury (Parisienne de Photographie).
With kind support by MDRN.
The conference was a success! Many thanks to all involved! More info on this event as it unfolded on this website.
