The Future of Digital Archiving. Location: Seattle University School of Law, Second Floor Gallery (corner of 12th and Columbia) Description: Professor Zimmerman will discuss her current proposals to preserve the public benefits that would flow from allowing a broad right of digitization for preservation purposes, and the changes in existing copyright law that would be necessary to realize them. These proposals focus primarily on the need to preserve public access to literary works. Mr. Davis will share his observations based on his experiences in the private sector with archiving of visual works such as photographs and museum art pieces. This cutting-edge discussion will go far beyond the immediate issues raised by the Google Library project to the consideration of long term cultural preservation and cultural rights policies, as well as best practices for the public-private partnerships that are likely to emerge in this area.
