Web archiving is now into its third decade of practice
and there is much experience to reflect upon and many achievements to
acknowledge. It is also a critical time to look to the future and to the
technical, legal, ethical and organisational challenges that saving the web for
citizens and for researchers continue to present. As established web archives
mature and new initiatives emerge, web archive artefacts and data become more
valuable for our understanding of societies, politics, cultures and economies
in a world of increasingly contested narratives.
In 2018 the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC) will
celebrate 15 years as the premier international body fostering the development
of web archiving tools, standards, practice and research. For the first time in
a decade, the IIPC’s annual web archiving conference will come to Australasia,
providing a rare opportunity for web curators, librarians, archivists,
historians, humanists, researchers, developers, computer scientists and others
interested in the preservation of world’s web heritage to come together at this
international forum in the southern hemisphere.
Proposals on all aspects of web archiving practice as
well as researching and using web archives are invited. Particularly welcome
are proposals related to the Australasian, Asia Pacific and southern hemisphere
regions; proposals from the perspective of new users and researchers; and
proposals addressing the major conference themes of histories and futures.
Potential topics include:
Building web archives
* Harvesting approaches, tools and challenges
* Collection development and curation
* Legal and ethical issues in collecting
content
Maintaining web archive content and operations
* Preservation and sustainability issues and
strategies
* Institutional and organizational structures
and approaches
* Collection assessment and metrics
* Collection management tools
* Description and access
Using and researching web archives
* User experience and discovery
* Legal, ethical or social aspects in
accessing content
* Tools, APIs and indexing for researching web
archives
* Research opportunities and challenges

Web archive histories and futures
* Initiatives and collaborations
* Web archive stories and histories
* National web domains
* Web archives as repositories of ‘truth’
The programme committee invite proposals for:
* 30 minute presentations (i.e., 20 minutes
for presentation plus 10 minutes for questions)
* 60 minute panel discussions or
multi-presentations
* Conference themed workshops (proposed length
to be agreed with organisers)
* Tutorials focusing on particular tools
(proposed length to be agreed with organisers)
* Posters with accompanying 5 minute lightning

Proposals for presentations and panels must be submitted
as an abstract of between 300 and 500 words. Proposals for workshops and
tutorials should be 800 to 1,000 words and include information about
coordinators, format, target participant numbers and technical requirements.
Proposals should demonstrate how the presentation, panel or workshop
contributes to understanding web archiving histories or futures and the general
themes relating to building, maintaining and researching web archives. Proposal
should be accompanied by 3 to 5 keywords. Based on the abstracts, the programme
committee may invite the submission of full papers for future publication.
