ICHIM07 Preliminary Program Available

ICHIM07 - International Cultural Heritage Informatics Meetings
Toronto, October 24-26, 2007

The Preliminary Program for the tenth International Cultural Heritage Informatics Meeting is now available.

Back in North America for the first time since 1999, ICHIM continues its tradition of meeting every two years to survey the changing synergies of culture, heritage and informatics. This tenth meeting visits digital culture in the age of Web 2.0, contributed content, open source, broadband services, and ubiquitous computing. From one perspective all seems new, while another draws a direct line from the videodisk of 1991, through the CD-ROMs of 1993, and the Web of 1995, to e-commerce, e-government, and social computing.

ICHIM is the premier conference at which senior policy makers from around the world gather with technology practitioners, researchers, information designers and the staffs of cultural repositories – libraries, archives and museums – to imagine and direct informatics services for culture and heritage knowledge.

Join us in Toronto, October 24-26, 2007 to discuss and debate.
