Executive Director
Coalition for Networked Information
There has been a good deal of descriptive analysis in recent years of the ways in which personal life histories are being documented in digital forms. This session will include a brief review some of these developments, followed by a conversation (building on the discussions at the February 16, 2010, Symposium on Personal Archiving, organized by Jeff Ubois and hosted by the Internet Archive) about the implications of these developments for the practices of cultural memory organizations.
