The Digital Preservation Coalition is pleased to announce that registration is now open for the 2017 ‘Getting Started with Digital Preservation’ workshop series, which will visit Manchester, London and Durham.
The Digital Preservation Coalition is delighted to invite you to join them at a workshop which will equip collection managers, archivists, librarians and conservators with the skills necessary for ‘Getting Started in Digital Preservation. This day-long introduction assumes no prior knowledge except a willingness to engage with digital preservation. Through a series of presentations, case studies and exercises, participants will learn how to apply techniques of assessment, risk management and planning to help secure their digital collections. Presentations and exercises will help participants:
* Understand the range of issues associated with digital preservation
* Gain a clear understanding of their organisation's readiness to undertake digital preservation
* Plan for implementing bit-level preservation
* Survey and characterise a digital collection
* Undertake preliminary risk assessment to manage their own digital collections
* Meet and network with others locally working in digital preservation
Workshop Dates and Locations

* Information Technologists’ Hall, London, 17th May

Registration
Registration is free for members of the DPC and £50 for non-members. There is a limit of 3 places per member (incl. consortia and membership organisations) and these will be available on a 'first come, first served' basis.
