However, born-digital cultural materials that originate and circulate across a range of formats and platforms are rapidly expanding and raising new opportunities and challenges for research, archiving and collecting communities. Collecting, accessing and sharing born-digital objects and data presents a range of complex technical, legal and ethical challenges that, if unaddressed, threaten the archival and research futures of these vital cultural materials and records of the 21st century. Moreover, the environments, contexts and formats through which born-digital records are mediated necessitate reconceptualising the materials and practices we associate with cultural heritage and memory.</div> <div></div> <div>Research and practitioner communities working with born-digital materials are growing and their interests are varied, from digital cultures and intangible cultural heritage to web archives, electronic literatures and social media. This international conference seeks to further an interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral discussion on how the born-digital transforms what and how we research in the humanities.</div> <div></div> <div>We invite contributions from researchers and practitioners involved in any way in accessing or developing born-digital collections and archives, and interested in exploring the novel and transformative effects of born-digital cultural heritage. Areas of particular (but not exclusive) interest include:</div> <div></div> <div><b>1.

Theoretical, methodological and creative approaches to engaging with born-digital collections and archives:</b></div> <ul> <li>Approaches to researching the born-digital mediation of cultural memory</li> <li>Histories and historiographies of born-digital technologies</li> <li>Creative research uses and creative technologist approaches to born-digital materials</li> <li>Experimental research approaches to engaging with born-digital objects, data and collections</li> <li>Methodological reflections on using digital, quantitative and/or qualitative methods with born-digital objects, data and collections</li> <li>Novel approaches to conceptualising born-digital and/or hybrid cultural heritage and archives</li> </ul> <div></div> <div><b>3. Critical approaches to born-digital archiving, curation and preservation:</b></div> <ul> <li>Critical archival studies and librarianship approaches to born-digital collections</li> <li>Preserving and understanding obsolete media formats, including but not limited to CD-ROMs, floppy disks and other forms of optical and magnetic media </li> <li>Preservation challenges associated with the platformisation of digital cultural production</li> <li>Semantic technology, ontologies, metadata standards, markup languages and born-digital curation</li> <li>Ethical approaches to collecting and accessing ‘difficult’ born-digital heritage, such as traumatic or offensive online materials</li> <li>Risks and opportunities of generative AI in the context of born-digital archiving</li> </ul> <div><b>4.
