Amsterdam and IDCC

Leave a reply

Last week, I traveled to Amsterdam to attend and present at the International Digital Curation Conference. I wrote a post about the conference here on the Archives Lab site but I wanted to add a more personal touch here. Amsterdam was a beautiful city which I was happy to explore in between conference events.

Being me, I had to find an archive or library to slip into. I ended up popping in at the Staadsarchief, Amsterdam’s City Archives. It was a beautiful building which houses a few exhibition spaces as well as information about the UNESCO World Heritage sites in the area, including the entire city canal ring. The lower exhibition includes some of the city’s founding documents including the charter. It was a real treat!

As always, I was inspired by the conference and excited to attend IDCC again in the future. Thanks to everyone who stopped by my poster. Here’s a picture of it, via Twitter, and a link to it via the conference website.

Upcoming Conference: IDCC 16

I will be presenting a poster entitled “Agricultural Data Curation: Examples from a National Library” at the International Digital Curation Conference this week. This is the first time I will be publicly sharing the work I’ve been doing as part of my Post-doc, and I’m very excited! As you might be able to guess from the title, this poster presents initial results from my work with the Knowledge Services Division at the National Agricultural Library. We highlight the role collaboration plays in the four primary projects currently ongoing at the division.

Are you going to be in Amsterdam for IDCC? Let me know! I look forward to seeing old colleagues and meeting new ones.
