    • “New Modalities of Archival Exploration”
      Speakers: Mark Hedges, KCL; Richard Marciano, UMD; and Ian Milligan, U. Waterloo
      Description: The last several years have seen archival fonds emerge as “big” data corpora. This process of “data-fication” of the archives has given rise to new modalities of archival exploration using data science techniques, such as data mining, feature extraction, machine-learning based clustering and classification, and network analytics. The speakers of this panel discuss their experience with new methods of archival exploration and some of the associated theoretical, methodological, and practical challenges for archivists and researchers alike.
