The Sussex Humanities Lab (SHL) and the Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) are pleased to announce that the second ‘Digital Preservation for Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities’ conference (DPASSH 2017) will be held at the University of Sussex, Brighton, 14-15 June 2017.

DPASSH is a response to the problem of digital preservation within the arts and social sciences domains. It seeks to address the complexities of long-term digital preservation of the full variety of research materials; and to encourage a long term dialogue around the issues created by such preservation.

DPASSSH is happy to announce that we are now opening an additional call for submissions for its conference for short papers and expert panels. The deadline for both submissions is Sunday 15th January 2017 (midnight GMT).

Accepted short papers will present for 10-12 minutes on topics relevant to the conference call and theme. It is envisaged that short papers will report on research that is still in progress.

Submissions for panels should consist of maximum of 4 people, and the panel will typically last for 45 minutes. Applicants should submit a brief bio of each panel member and a theme/provocation for the proposed panel discussion (maximum 500 words).

If you have any queries please contact us at dpassh2017@gmail.com.

Submissions must be made through our online submission system.
