    We are looking forward to the Performing Arts Sections' special joint section meeting with the Web Archiving Section and Performing Arts Section, held virtually on Thursday, August 11, 2022 from 1 - 2:30 pm CT.

    • How and why researchers use and interact with performing arts web archives
    • Data computation, analysis, and visualization projects based on performing arts web archives and born-digital records
    • Collection development policy initiatives to incorporate web archives into performing arts special collections
    • Including performing arts web archives in finding aids
    • Reference and engagement work around performing arts web archives and born-digital records
    • Web archiving and post-custodial performing arts archives
    • Performing arts web archives design for mixed audiences/diverse patrons
    • And more!

    For consideration, please send a presentation title, brief description (100 words or less), and name(s) of presenter(s) to Performing Arts Section Co-Chair Cecily Marcus (cecily.marcus@mnhs.org) and Web Archiving Section Chair Melissa Wertheimer (melissa.wertheimer@gmail.com) by July 1, 2022.
