Sustaining Digital Legacies: What Does It Take?
Victoria McCargar
Even as digital technologies have provided us with astonishing avenues for access, they are also setting up a preservation challenge that may eventually dwarf projects and programs in the analog world. Fortunately, developments like OAIS (open archive information systems) PREMIS (preservation metadata) and TRAC (trusted repository audit and certification) can provide even small libraries and archives with valuable strategies for tackling the sustainability of their digital collections.

Exhibition Tour with Curator Meg Linton
3 Solo Projects: Lynn Aldrich, Jessica Rath, Carrie Ungerman
Second in a series of exhibitions highlighting the work of Southern California artists. Aldrich, Rath, and Ungerman have each created new site-specific installations using common materials in quantity: dozens of metal and plastic rain gutters, gallons of liquid latex, and thousands of plastic water bottles to make tactile and poignant experiences that are poetic metaphors of abundance, scarcity, and growth.
