Getting Started in Digital Preservation
Posted by Marieke Guy on February 21st, 2011
The Digital Preservation Coalition are running a Getting Started in Digital Preservation workshop on Wednesday 21st March 2011 at Glamorgan Archives, Cardiff. Places are limited and cost costs £25.00 but free to DPC members.
The workshop follows on from the Decoding the Digital conference and being organised in conjunction with the British Library Preservation Advisory Centre whose Approaches to Digitisation workshop I presented at a few weeks back.
The event provides an introduction to digital preservation, builds an understanding of the risks to digital materials, includes practical sessions to help you apply digital preservation planning and tools, and features speakers sharing their own experience of putting digital preservation into practice.
The sessions are aimed at librarians, archivists and collection managers in all sectors and in all sizes of institution who want to find out more about digital preservation and the implications for their organisation of having to retain, manage and provide ongoing access to large quantities of digital material.
