Archives Unleashed Datathon #Montreal

In response to the rapidly-evolving COVID-19 pandemic situation our IIPC colleagues have postponed their Web Archiving Conference to 28-30 September.

The Archives Unleashed team will unfortunately not be running a datathon as part of this rescheduled conference, so the datathon portion of the overall event is cancelled.

The Archives Unleashed Team has partnered with Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ) to host an Archives Unleashed datathon following IIPC General Assembly and Web Archiving Conference events:
IIPC General Assembly (GA) 11 May 2020
Web Archiving Conference (WAC) 2020 12 – 13 May 2020 ** Event postponed until September 2020
Archives Unleashed Datathon 14 – 15 May 2020
This event will bring together a small group of participants to experiment with the newest release of the Archives Unleashed Toolkit and Cloud, and to kick-off collaboratively inspired research projects. Participants will have access to analytics software and specialists, and will be exposed to the process of working with web archive files at scale. The event will be held in English. For more information on the Archives Unleashed Toolkit and the Cloud, please visit http://archivesunleashed.org/.
