NYARC implemented a web archiving program to preserve born-digital art resources and develop a sustainable model for archiving dynamic, image-based web content. As IMLS grant-funded interns for web archiving, we spent two semesters at the Frick Art Reference Library working on various facets for capturing online art resources.
This paper examines the hardware and software tools (write blockers, kryoflux drive, AccessData, FTK) used in law enforcement for forensic analysis and how these tools have been adopted by archivists for born-digital archiving. It explores how these tools were used when NYPL acquired Timothy Leary’s estate which included over 375 floppy disks. The paper also briefly touches on some of the current challenges of archiving google docs, twitter feeds and emails.
Abbey Bender will present the online digital archive for the Daughters of Bilitis (DOB) Oral History Project created by students in LIS 668. The DOB was the first women’s LGBT social and political organization in the United States.
Community groups and activists advocating for social and political change often create archives to preserve and define their own stories.

This poster highlights our research as student members of the Linked Jazz project, an ongoing exploration in applying Linked Open Data (LOD) technologies to cultural heritage materials. Research directions include the use of LOD for dataset enrichment in digital humanities research; creating RDF triples to describe image resource types; and mapping elements from various music and jazz databases to assign entities and properties from ontologies.
This documentary was developed for Brooklyn Connections, an educational program that uses BPL’s local archive housed to create resources for schools. The documentary focuses on a few key pieces of ephemera from the Civil Rights Movement and challenges students to think critically about the events of that era and connect them to social conditions in Brooklyn today.
The Brooklyn Connections PSA is a short video designed to encourage teachers to participate in the Brooklyn Connections program at Brooklyn Public Library with their classes. By exploring the programs mission and goals, and showing some of the fantastic projects completed with primary sources with the BC staff, this small group created a PSA that will be used by BC to promote their program on their website.
For a project to archive and digitize audiocassette tapes for the Center for Puerto Rican Studies (Centro), our team took on all aspects of metadata management – from schema/nomenclature creation to digital transfers to project oversight (creating protocols, assigning data entry to classmates) and quality control. We used DublinCore and PBCore, decoded labeling mysteries, and supervised creation and management for over 70 records.
Panel discussion exploring the current methodologies regarding the documentation, description, and management of artist records and their works of art in three distinct professional environments– working with a living artist, working in a foundation, and working in a museum setting.
This video was created as if I were giving an academic job talk for a position at the University of North Texas Libraries. The topic I was assigned for my presentation was, “current and emerging trends in digital media preservation and how libraries have/can/should address these needs.”
A survey of the practice of digitization of archival collections, how it is being accomplished, what the benefits of it are, and what concerns need to be kept in mind.
This is a paper addressing current concerns in legal libraries and librarianship, particularly those arising from the rise of digital resources. My presentation itself focuses on the technology-driven push for innovation, particularly issues presented by legal blogs.
