Access to government information remains a hot topic – and so we are pleased to be part of the organizing team, along with our colleagues from Simon Fraser University and University of British Columbia – for GovInfo Days Spring 2024 edition!
We are offering a virtual program on Thursday May 9th, from 9:30-12:30 PST. We have a stellar line of speakers on the following topics: Crown Copyright, Freedom of Information, and Election Crawls in the US.

On Friday, May 10th, we will be hosting an in-person event at our Internet Archive Canada headquarters in Vancouver. Our founder Brewster Kahle will kick things off for a 9:30 am start. We have a great line-up of speakers on a range of topics, see programme details: https://www.governmentinformationday.ca/).
Lunch is sponsored by Internet Archive Canada and UBC, with talks wrapping up around 4:30. People are welcome to stay on and chat as we roll into the opening hours of the Pretend Wine Bar.

Internet Archive is also hosting an Archive-IT workshop on May 9th, from 1:30-3 PM PST.
Join us for a practical workshop on how to use the Internet Archive’s Archive-It software, led by a Web Archivist from the Internet Archive. This workshop is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of web archiving concepts, demonstrated through real-life case studies from various relevant organizations. You will also be able to engage in hands-on exercises and demos of the Internet Archive’s Archive-It software, ensuring that you leave with the practical skills and concrete plans necessary to implement web archiving in your work.
