<div dir="ltr">Dear colleagues,<br><br>We invite scholars and practitioners to join us for a pre-conference workshop about history and memory in internet studies to be held on October 5th in Berlin under the title "404 History Not Found: Challenges in Internet History and Memory Studies". This will be held at the Association of Internet Researchers (AOIR 2016).<div>
<br>
Attendees will be invited to participate in three hands-on, interactive<br>
sessions organized around core research challenges in net history: (1)<br>
theory and epistemology, (2) materials, sources, and methodology, and (3)<br>
mediation and transmission.<br>
<br>
** Warning: All potential presenters should be registered by <span tabindex="0" class=""><span class="">July 20</span></span> **<br><br>
Submission process :<br>
<br>
Anyone can submit as a presenter (with abstract) or an attendee (no<br>
abstract necessary). Both will be involved actively, through sharing<br>
problems, tips and solutions.<br>
<br>
Rather than whole case studies or paper presentations, each session will<br>
address specific challenges facing one or more participants: theoretical<br>
paradoxes, methodological dead-ends, and demonstrations of born-digital<br>
artifacts. Through a series of activities, participants will be asked to<br>
take positions, brainstorm solutions, and identify common themes.<br>
<br>

discussion, please fill out the form here:<br>

<br>
Throughout the day, we will be developing a set of concrete outcomes to be<br>
shared with the wider community. These outcomes will include a timeline of<br>
key moments in net history, an agenda of "common problems" linking together<br>
the various projects, and a set of recommended resources to support<br>
researchers and teachers in AOIR who wish to incorporate net histories into<br>
their work.<br><br>For a more detailed description of the workshop, see:<br>
