Preserving What We’ve Made: Yellow Nineties 2.0 and the Future of the Past

• Dr. Constance Crompton, Canada Research Chair in Digital Humanities, University of Ottawa
• Moderator: Dr. Lorraine Janzen Kooistra
• Abstract: Sustainability has been a common problem for completed digital humanities projects, in part because there have not been systematic approaches to ensuring their long-term preservation and accessibility. This talk introduces Endings: Concluding, Archiving, and Preserving Digital Projects for Long-Term Usability (endings.uvic.ca) and discusses how it might address the long-term usability of Yellow Nineties 2.0

3:30-5:00pm: Interactive Activity: Y90s Research Creation (in-person only)

• Moderator: Lorraine Janzen Kooistra
• Yellow Nineties 2.0 has been a springboard for research creation. In this interactive session book artist Reg Beatty and textile artist Azadeh Monzavi will explore the research objects they created in response to late-Victorian little magazines as works of art and design. 

Location: TMUL Collaboratory, Library 3rd floor
