This hybrid two-day international conference open to academics, heritage 
and cultural institutions, provides a platform to address current 
societal and technological issues of heritage preservation in digital 
music archives. These issues include aspects of underrepresentation, 
digital literacy and inequality, access and public engagement, 
narration, memory work and many more. Bringing together heritage 
practitioners and scholars, the conference interrogates digital 
archiving methods and their impact on music heritage for both 
traditional institutions and community archives. New tools and 
engagement mechanisms in the digital sphere will be explored, and 
participants are invited to report on, develop and discuss creative 
solutions to the issues they encounter(ed).

We invite works that address, but are not limited to:

New methods of collecting, archiving and sharing.
Content creation and reimagining musical stories using heritage collections.
Existing examples of music archives and their journeys.
Race and the music archive.
Indigenous perspectives. Gendered perspectives.
LGBTQ+ perspectives.
Technology and tools that increase access to and engagement with archives.

limited to:
