The DPC is pleased to announce the schedule for its ‘Getting Started with Digital Preservation’ roadshow series for 2016, with registration now open for the first event in London.

 

About ‘Getting Started….’

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

·       Survey and characterize a digital collection

·       Undertake preliminary risk assessment to manage their own digital collections

·       Understand preservation planning and write a basic preservation plan

·       Meet and network with others locally working in digital preservation.
