<br>
<br>In 2020 the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC) Web
<br>Archiving Conference (WAC) will be proudly hosted in Montréal, by
<br>Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ), from May 12-13, 2020.
<br>The events are organised in partnership with Library and Archives Canada
<br>and University of Toronto Libraries. The conference will be followed by a
<br>two-day Archives Unleashed datathon that will bring together a small group
<br>of participants to gain a hands-on experience of working with web archives.
