Here is a quick checklist to help you assess where you are in your digital preservation strategy.

• What information do you have?
• Do you have a preservation strategy?
• Are you documenting processes?
• Have you decided what needs preserving?
• Have you decided how long it needs to be preserved for?
• Have you indicated responsibilities?
• Have you resourced the solution?
• Does your team have adequate training?
• Have you had a cross-discipline/institution discussion?
• Have you decided what needs to be deleted?
