Workshop: The Climate Crisis and New Paradigms For Digital Access

Abstract

The need for action on the climate crisis is more urgent than ever, and our demand for energy to power both storage and access to data is merely fueling the emergency. This workshop will look at the different pressures on born-digital archives, digitized records and their respective uses by researchers - of all disciplines - but with a particular focus on digital humanities. Based on Climate Crisis initiatives across both the digital humanities and digital preservation sectors, participants will consider the extent to which the expectations of access to digital materials are derived from older paradigms, and how we as a community can plan and advocate for alternatives.
