Registration closes this Friday (15th January) for the annual Digital Preservation Coalition Student Conference: What I Wish I Knew Before I Started, presented with support from the Section for Archives & Technology of the
Archives and Records Association and the Institute for Historical Research. The conference will be held on Friday 22nd January at Senate House, Malet Street, London.
This conference will bring a select group of leading practitioners together with the next generation of archivists, records managers and librarians to discuss the challenges of digital collections management and digital preservation. The
day will open with a consideration of digital preservation basics and a scan of emerging trends in digital preservation. In the afternoon, a group of speakers will be invited to reflect on 'the things they wish they knew before they started', or 'what I actually
do all day' giving students and new professionals an advantage in their own career development and helping those who frame the curriculum a chance to extend their students' readiness for the workplace. This year’s speakers will be:
Sharon McMeekin, DPC
Steph Taylor, ULCC
Matthew Addis, Arkivum
Adrian Brown, Parliamentary Archives
Glenn Cumiskey, British Museum
Helen Hockx-Yu, Internet Archive
Ann MacDonald, University of Kent
