The Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA) and DLF will be sending Marlo Longley to attend the 2019 DLF/AMIA Hack Day and AMIA conference in Baltimore, Maryland! During the event, Marlo will collaborate on projects with other attendees to develop solutions for digital audiovisual preservation and access.

About Hack Day and the Award
The sixth AMIA+DLF Hack Day (November 13 at the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace) will be a unique opportunity for practitioners and managers of digital audiovisual collections to join with developers and engineers for an intense day of collaboration to develop solutions for digital audiovisual preservation and access.
The goal of the AMIA + DLF Award is to bring “cross-pollinators”–developers and software engineers who can provide unique perspectives to moving image and sound archivists’ work with digital materials, share a vision of the library world from their perspective, and enrich the Hack Day event–to the conference.
