Dear Colleagues,

 

I am writing to give you early warning of a series of announcements which will follow in the next three days during which we will introduce the finalists in the 2018 Digital Preservation Awards.

 

The awards are the summit of our advocacy work for the digital preservation community, celebrating and recognizing outstanding contributions from a creative, insightful and generous community of practitioners around the world.  These achievements are too rarely celebrated and the work behind them too often overlooked.  We’d like to change that.

 

Since August an international panel of judges have had the pleasure of reading through a great mound of nominations. Yesterday we met to select finalists in five categories of the awards.  We will introduce them in a series of announcements over the next 3 days.  And that’s where I’d like your help.

 

We’ll announce the winners in Amsterdam on World Digital Preservation Day (29^th Nov). In the meantime can I count on you all please to raise the roof: to tweet or email or blog congratulations and encouragements to the many wonderful people and initiatives which we will have the privilege of introducing. #dpa2018 #nodigitaldarkage

 

All best wishes,

 

William
