On Tuesday 17 November 17:30 I'm giving a talk as part of Mathias Klang's information security course at the University of Gothenburg. The theme is "Ãrtusendenas glömska: arkivsäkring i det riktigt lÃ¥nga perspektivet", which may hint to the intelligent reader that I'll be speaking in Swedish. I'll cover ways that information has survived from the distant past, and aspects of how data from archaeological sites and museum collections can be safeguarded for a long future.

The lecture is free and open to the public. The venue is at Forskningsgången 6, square 2, floor 2, on the premises of IT-Universitetet on Lindholmen. Hope to see blog readers there!

You would have seen me if it wasn´t for my smallest childs third birthday.
I guess my wife would have been interesting as well as she is reeducating herself from beeing archaeologist to a career managing archives.
