Decoding the digital: a common language for preservation A Digital Preservation Coalition and Preservation Advisory Centre joint conference, exploring communication and promoting interaction between librarians, archivists and digital preservation managers. Tuesday 27 July 2010 British Library Conference Centre , 96 Euston Road, London NW1 2DB, United Kingdom This one day conference seeks to build on the communication between librarians, archivists, curators, conservators and digital preservation managers, and establish a shared understanding of the issues surrounding the preservation of digital collections. What are the similarities in our approach to the preservation of physical and digital collections, and where do the differences lie? The programme features pairs of speakers talking about the creation, management, preservation and use of digital collections. One speaker from each pair explores how use and access shapes approaches to digital preservation, and the other looks at the same issue from the technological perspective. The conference provides an introduction to digital preservation issues for the uninitiated and encourages those involved in the technology supporting digital preservation to learn how collections are developed and used.
