Classes taught
SI Ph.D. students currently advised:
Paul Conway is an associate professor in the School of Information and coordinator of the Archives and Records Management specialization of the Master of Science in Information program for the 2008-2009 academic year.
Conway has extensive teaching and administrative experience in the archives and preservation professions. Before coming to SI, Conway served as director for information technology services and director for digital asset initiatives at Duke University.
Conway is an experienced educator whose courses will strengthen and extend SI's nationally ranked specialization in Archives and Records Management. Over the past decade, he has developed and taught courses on preservation management, archival approaches to digital content management, and digital preservation, as well as dozens of specialized workshops and seminars on information technology issues.
Conway's research interests include the challenges of representing and interpreting visual and textual resources in digital form, extracting knowledge from large-scale image databases, and modeling incentive systems for digital preservation, particularly in the context of emerging interdisciplinary scholarship in the humanities.
Conway has made major contributions over the past 30 years to the literature on archival users and use, preservation management, and digital imaging technologies. Prior to his appointment at Duke, Conway headed the Preservation Department at Yale University Library for nine years. He is an accomplished leader in the fields of archives and preservation and has held positions at the National Archives and Records Administration and the Society of American Archivists. He began his career as an archivist at the Gerald R. Ford Library on the U-M North Campus.
Conway completed the first Research Libraries Leadership Fellowship program, developed by the Association of Research Libraries. In 2005, Conway received the American Library Association's Paul Banks and Carolyn Harris Preservation Award for his contributions to the preservation field. He currently serves on the Editorial Board of American Archivist and on the Preservation Advisory Committee of the Council on Library and Information Resources.
