Das Sammeln und Bewahren von Kulturgütern ist eine der Kernaufgaben von Museen, Archiven und Bibliotheken. Im Zeitalter digitaler Medien hat sich dieser traditionelle Auftrag verändert, da neben physischen Objekten auch digitale Güter gesichert und dauerhaft verfügbar gemacht werden müssen. Diese (oft originär) digitalen Informationen haben vielfältige Datenformate und sind einem schnellen Alterungsprozess unterworfen. Eine schnellstmögliche Entwicklung adäquater Strategien um die enorme Menge an Informationen zu archivieren sind damit unumgänglich. Archivierung bedeutet für Gedächtnisinstitutionen wie Museen jedoch nicht nur die alleinige Speicherung sondern vielmehr die Sicherstellung eines dauerhaften Zugriffs auf die Informationen. Die Tagung gliedert sich in vier Sektionen: (1) Weitergabe und Import von Daten und Metadaten; (2) Verwaltung und Pflege von Sammlungs- und Multimediadaten; (3) Backup von Sammlungs- und Multimediadaten (Speicherung und Langzeitarchivierung); (4) Datenzugriff, Verfügbarkeit und Veröffentlichung. ...

The Museum für Naturkunde Berlin and the Botanischer Garten und Botanisches Museum Berlin are glad to welcome you to the 2016 SPNHC conference, held from June 20 through 25, 2016, in Berlin, Germany. Under the heading “Green Museum – How to practice what we preach?” this 4th meeting of the society evaluates green thinking in collections, museums and botanical gardens. In a world of climate change and ever decreasing biodiversity, sustainability should be the criterion that ideally determines all planning and decisions, ranging from field work to construction projects, from ethical aspects to cost-benefit analyses. In practice this often is compromised by constraints beyond the control of the institution, be it monetary, legal or other. The conference will offer a forum to discuss possible ways of reconciling the seemingly opposing requirements. We welcome your contributions to this or other topics and look forward to hosting you in 2016. ... [Information of the supplier]

The Natural Science Collections Association will be holding their next annual conference & AGM on 20 & 21 April 2017. The event will be hosted by the University Museum of Zoology, Cambridge. This conference, "Evolving Ideas: provocative new ways of working with collections", aims to generate real food for thought for anyone interested in enhancing how museums with natural sciences collections operate. We want to provoke, explore and inspire new ways of working. What have you learnt that the rest of the sector would benefit from knowing? What would you like to see museums with natural sciences collections do differently? The #NatSCA2017 conference theme is wide – we want two days of sharing and discussion about how the sector could do things better. What are the outcomes of your recent projects that you think colleagues in other museums would benefit from? Have you developed a new practice that you want to share? Do you have a provocation for changing the way we do things? The range of possible topics is broad, but all sessions should focus on findings that will be useful for other delegates to hear, or provocations for changing practice. ...
