Ett CFP om ett kommande specialnummer av Convergence verkar ganska intressant:
Convergence is pleased to announce a forthcoming special issue on ‘Cultural Memory and Digital Preservation’. As works produced originally for analog media come to be preserved within digital media, and as media-based artworks confront the imminent scarcity or obsolescence of their technical supports, the question of how the cultural expression of the past will be preserved, transformed and kept in circulation has become vital. So too is the question of how today’s digital resources (eg media-based artworks and digital collections) may be sustained and kept in circulation in the future.
Proposals are invited for articles dealing with the role of new media technologies in preserving or replicating the cultural practices of the past. Articles are invited from scholars, curators, gallery conservators, artists and others whose work deals with the relationship between contemporary media and cultural heritage.

Det här är ett område där väldigt mycket behöver göras.
