About the Conference
The IS&T Archiving Conference brings together a unique community of imaging novices and experts from
libraries, archives, records management, and information technology institutions to discuss and explore
the expanding field of digital archiving and preservation. Attendees from around the world represent
industry, academia, governments, and cultural heritage institutions. The conference presents the latest
research results on archiving, provides a forum to explore new strategies and policies, and reports on
successful projects that can serve as benchmarks in the field. Archiving 2015 is a blend of short courses,
invited focal papers, keynote talks, and peer-reviewed oral and interactive display presentations.
Proposed Program Topics
Prospective authors are invited to submit abstracts describing original work for presentation at the
2015 conference in technical areas related to the general fields of:
• Digital Preservation: Infrastructure, repositories, and web harvesting and achiving
• Creating and Preserving Dynamic Media: Sound, film, digital art
• Imaging Technology: Including digital documentation and forensic analysis of art
• Using Tools, Systems, and Services: Quality assurance, managing file formats including image
compression, and digital forensics
• Managing Content and Digital Curation:
• Policies, processes, metrics for services, illustrating value and ROI, and systems
• Access rights management
• Data privacy and PII (personally identifiable information)

The Venue: The Getty Museum
Archiving 2015 will be graciously hosted by The Getty
Center, located in the Brentwood section of Los Angeles.
Known worldwide for its efforts in conservation, this stunning location is the perfect venue for the 2015 meeting.
The Getty, comprised of two locations within the LA area,
is one of the most visited museums in the US; the Getty
Center houses European paintings, drawings, sculpture,
illuminated manuscripts, decorative arts, and European
and American photographs, while the nearby Getty Villa is
dedicated to the study of the arts and cultures of ancient
Greece, Rome, and Etruria.
Los Angeles—or the city of angels—holds a plethora of
opportunities for visitors. From outstanding museums such
as the Getty, LAMOCA, Hammer, Norton Simon,
Huntington Library, Art Collection, and Gardens to iconic
settings, such as the Griffith Observatory, the Hollywood
Walk of Fame, and Disneyland, LA offers something for
everyone. Learn about the origins of the earth at La Brea
tar pits; walk through history at Union Station and Olvera
Street; enjoy performance art at the Hollywood Bowl; walk
the Santa Monica Pier; hike one of the many canyons
surrounding the city; try your hand at surfing; or tour the
exemplary Greene and Greene arts and crafts homes,
such as the Gamble House in Pasadena.
Lodging/Transportation
Details on lodging and transportation logistics for the event
will be released with the Preliminary Program in early
2015.
For planning purposes, Los Angeles International Airport
(LAX) is the airport closest to the conference venue.
