Invitation to join the Planets User Community

Planets, Preservation and Long-term Access through Networked Services, is a four-year project co-funded by the European Union under the Sixth Framework Programme to address core digital preservation challenges. Planets is building practical tools and services to help ensure long-term access to our digital cultural and scientific assets.

To unify the interests in digital preservation, Planets will establish a user community. We invite you to join us.

By registering to the Planets user community you will receive news updates about developments in the project. These include: reports, publications, newsletters, tools and services, training and outreach workshops to support digital preservation. You will also receive notice of invitations to test preservation tools, such as the Planets Testbed, in a professional environment and the possibility to comment on and contribute to further developments within the Planets framework.
