The conference announcement and call for papers should be of interest
to the CNI community. I particularly appreciate the conference theme.

Disclosure: I am a member of the program committee for this meeting.

The Sussex Humanities Lab and the Digital Repository of Ireland are
pleased to announce that the second Digital Preservation for the Arts,
Social Science, and Humanities conference will take place 14-15 June
2017 at the University of Sussex, Brighton.
 
The CFP has now been released, the submission deadline is midnight
Sunday 11 December 2016 (GMT).
 
The conference theme is: ‘Preserving Abundance: The Challenge of Saving
Everything’. Submissions are particularly sought from researchers,
practitioners, and scholars in the fields of digital history, digital
humanities, digital materiality, digital performance, digital arts and
music, cultural heritage and research institutions, as well as
libraries, archives and industry. We also invite submissions for papers
that critically reflect on any area relating to digital preservation in
the humanities and social sciences, arts, and cultural heritage domains.
 
The first international conference took place in June 2015, hosted by
the Digital Repository of Ireland, in Dublin. The website for that
conference is here: http://dpassh.dri.ie/. The conference papers
produced a special double issue of New Review of Networking.  Open
Access Preprints of articles are available on DRI at
