About the Forum

The BitCurator Users Forum brings together representatives from libraries,
archives, museums, and related information professions engaged in (or
considering) digital forensics work to acquire, better understand, and make
available born-digital materials. The 2017 forum will be expanded to two
days providing even more opportunities for community members and users to
engage and learn from each other. It will balance discussion of theory and
practice of digital forensics and related digital analysis workflows with
hands-on activities for users at all levels of experience with the
BitCurator environment, digital forensics methods in general, and other
tools for used in digital analysis and curation.

The BitCurator Users Forum is organized by the BCC’s Program Committee:

Laura Alagna, Northwestern University

Matthew Farrell, Duke University

Susan Malsbury, New York Public Library

Sam Meister, Educopia

Mary Samouelian, Harvard University
