  1. e(x)literature: the Preservation, Archiving, and Dissemination of Electronic Literature

    At the 2002 Electronic Literature Online conference in Los Angeles, Katherine Hayles' keynote address warned that the incessant development of the software and hardware is rendering old computer based works obsolete and inaccessible. Although obsolescence is a problem for every form of cultural production, the reliance of computer-based creations upon a constantly evolving delicate matrix of software and hardware, makes preserving and archiving digital work especially challenging. Out of last Spring's discussions emerged the "PAD" initiative, and acronym for "preservation, archiving, and dissemination." PAD is an effort to develop a software standard (and perhaps eventually software products) that would give writers and artists some influence over the future development of the hardware/software interface, especially with regard to three practical goals of preservation, archiving, and dissemination.

  2. Archiving Events and Works in the ELMCIP Electronic Literature Knowledge Base

    This half day workshop will be focused on the preservation and archiving of Electronic Literature Organization events and conferences. Scott Rettberg has been asked by the ELO board to establish a standing committee of ELO members that will be focused on documenting and archiving current and past ELO events. This workshop will be focused both on the future scope and projects of that committee and on the hands-on documentation of ELO conferences in the ELMCIP Electronic Literature Knowledge Base. We will consider questions including:

    * What are the best practices related to archiving for ELO conference organizers?
    * Should relationships be established with one or more libraries or archives to preserve data and ephemera from ELO conferences?
    * How should we best go about gathering ELO archives materials and preserving them?
    * How can we archive events using the platform of the ELMCIP Electronic Literature Knowledge Base?
