[Commlist] Web ARChive studies network researching web domains and events

*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. Sign up by emailing Helle Strandgaard
