Our paper "Tacit Processes: Qualitative Analysis Toward Bottom-Up Emulation Workflows" was nominated for the Angela Dappert award for Research and Practice in Digital Preservation at iPRES 2023. The reviewers noted the innovation in the use of qualitative grounded theory toward preservation workflows. We are just super excited that everyone liked the work!

The SHFT Group submitted two papers to iPRES 2023, "Tacit Processes: Qualitative Analysis Toward Bottom-Up Emulation Workflows" and "Investigating the Effects of Adobe Flash Deprecation on Online Preservation Efforts". The former short paper has been accepted for presentation at iPRES 2023 at the University of Illinois in September 2023.

SHFT research associates Adam Larson and Matilda Orona helped with each paper respectively. While the Flash paper did not get accepted, its reviews were all positive, and SHFT is working on further amendments and resubmission to a different venue.
