Data and place to be determined

The eight conference was planned to take place in Oslo on 27th October 2020, at the National Library of Norway. The response to the call for papers was great. However, it was not be possible to have the event in 2020/2021, and the organisors have decided to postpone the conference til the autumn of 2022. They will consult with those who have proposed a paper, to determine if a new call for papers is needed.
