*WARCnet — **Web ARChive studies network researching web domains and events*

Interested in studying national web domains or transnational events using web archives? Then the WARCnet researcher network may be of interest for you.

WARCnet, an acronym for ‘Web ARChive studies network researching web domains and events’ offers transnational interdisciplinary networking activities for researchers who study the archived web, and it reaches out to web archivists and IT-developers. The networking activities are guided by an overarching research question: How have (a) (trans)national web domains, and (b) transnational events developed on the European web?The network is funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark, and it started this January and will run until the end of 2021.

The main activities of the network will be four meetings and a conference, the kickoff meeting to take place in Aarhus, Denmark 4-6 May 2020. Scholars who were not part of the application, but are interested in the field may apply for a limited number of free seats for every meeting, covering hotel and catering. All keynotes will bo open for everyone, without applying (but registration is needed).

If you’re interested please have a look at the project website at warcet.eu and on the registration website at https://events.au.dk/warcnet04052020/home.htmlwhere you’ll also find a guideline for applying for a free seat. Deadline is 26 Feb.

The program for the kickoff meeting will be finished during the coming months, but we already have the two keynote speakers in place: Matt Weber, Associate Professor in the Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Minnesota, and Ian Milligan, the University of Waterloo.

In the same week as the kickoff meeting an associated event is organsed by The Centre for Digital History at Aarhus University (CEDHAR). CEDHAR will be organising a workshop about researcher use of the archived web, 7 May, 9:00-13:00. With presentation by Jane Winters and a hands-on session by Ian Milligan.
