Calls for contibution

 
International Polar Year Archiving Announcement - Archiving IPY 2007-8 During the last five (or more) years of planning and implementation of IPY 2007-8, many documents, correspondences, presentations, and multi-media tools have been developed that, while not raw scientific data, are a critical legacy of this historical research period. In order to learn from our experiences, and present a comprehensive account of this IPY to historians and scientists of the future, the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI) and Canadian IPY Secretariat at the University of Alberta have developed a process for capture and storage of digital material. Your participation is welcomed.
