Documentation and Conservation of the Media Arts Heritage

This editorial marks the launch of a new Leonardo special section. This new section is the journal’s contribution to a larger research alliance headed by the Daniel Langlois Foundation for Art, Science and Technology (Montreal, Canada) for documenting and conserving the media arts heritage. This 5-year research alliance—bringing together museums, universities and organizations from Canada, the U.S.A. and Europe—is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) and the Daniel Langlois Foundation. For the next 3 years, we will use this section in Leonardo to publish articles and reports arising out of the alliance’s ongoing research. We also wish to invite researchers, scholars, artists and others concerned about this constellation of problems to propose articles to Leonardo. We welcome articles under the following three programmatic headings: documentation, cataloging and conservation.
