INSTRUCTOR: David Seaman, University of Virginia
PLACE: University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada

… The form and implications of XML
… Publishing SGML on the World Wide Web
… EAD - Encoded Archival Descriptions
The course is designed primarily for librarians and archivists who are
planning to develop electronic text and imaging projects, for scholars who
are creating electronic texts as part of their teaching and research, and
for publishers who are looking to move publications to the Web. Course
participants will create an electronic version of a selection of Canadian
literary letters from the University of New Brunswick's Archives and Special
Collections. They will also encode the letters with TEI/SGML tagging, tag an
EAD finding aid and explore issues in creating digital images.

> amongst the data creating and data supplying communities upon
> which they depend.
>
> Preservation 2000 promises to bring together experts and
> enthusiasts from a variety of disciplines and organisations to
> discuss and debate recent advances in this critical area. This
> state of the art conference will make the most of both the

> facing the challenges imposed by long term access to digital
> objects.
>
> The aim of the conference is to facilitate meaningful dialogue
> between the wide array of organisations and individuals currently
> working with digital archives and preservation. The main goal for
> the conference is to share, disseminate and discuss current key
> issues concerning the preservation of digital materials.
>
> The conference aims to focus the programme around three main
> strands:
