<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thursday, November 30th – Friday, December 1st, 2023<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">#BDCH23 is the third iteration of the Born Digital Cultural Heritage conference series. The first and second iterations – in 2014 and 2022 – brought together academics and practitioners from across the world to consider issues in the field
of born digital heritage, from a range of disciplinary perspectives. A notable feature of this conference series has been the deliberate attempt to establish dialogue between those working in different professional fields. We recognise that born digital heritage
reaches into all disciplines and that, if we want to make progress on the challenges of preserving born digital heritage, it takes people from a range of disciplines and professions working together. Therefore, we seek to break down professional silos and
other barriers that inhibit the discussion and sharing of questions, knowledge and know how to address common challenges that we all face when researching, preserving and accessing different forms of born digital cultural heritage.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">BDCH#23 will consider where born digital cultural heritage is at now. What are we making progress on and what are the urgent challenges? How are we going to safeguard our digital heritage for future generations?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For this event, we aim to expand the fields of discussions to include architecture and design and extend the focus on digital games and media arts to include websites, networking and other relevant domains. The challenges of preserving
digital cultural heritage aren’t limited to legacy technologies, of course, but also affect contemporary platforms such as apps, VR, AR, etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">BDCH#23 will be a hybrid conference held at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Melbourne and online via zoom.<o:p></o:p></p>

full program for the last Born Digital Cultural Heritage Conference held in 2022</a> with abstracts and recordings of all presentations.<o:p></o:p></p>
