As part of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded AIMS Project ("Born-Digital Collections: An Inter-Institutional Model for Stewardship"), the project's partners (University of Virginia, Stanford University, Yale University, and University of Hull) are organizing a workshop regarding born-digital archival material in collecting repositories. The workshop will provide an opportunity for archivists and technologists to discuss issues related to collection development, accessioning, appraisal, arrangement and description, discovery and access, and preservation of these materials.
