Collecting for the future
8 - 12 AUGUST 2016
Since the first public website was published 25 years ago, there has been an explosion of digital content – from supercomputers exploring the universe to Facebook posts with friends.
In a world where so much of our lives is captured online, how do we make sense of all that information and make sure it isn’t lost to future generations?
Join libraries from across Australia and New Zealand for discussing and debate over five days as we examine the technical, social and philosophical questions of our digital lives.
