Dear all
This DPC Briefing Day, sponsored by Jisc, will bring together a diverse group of experts and critical thinkers on the topic of why and how to preserve software. Digital preservation has historically concerned itself with the content of
information – or the data we put into or get out of software. But software is an artefact and end in itself with a purpose and value independent of data. Discussions on these issues will help inform a forthcoming DPC Technology Watch Report on ‘Preserving
Software’. The day’s programme will provide attendees with a detailed understanding of both the state-of-the-art in software preservation and a glimpse of challenges yet to come.
This workshop will interest:
Attendees do not need to be specialists in software preservation, IT, or programming to attend this briefing day. Participants will benefit from a basic knowledge of digital content in general, how it behaves, and the over-arching challenges
to preserving it.
Places are strictly limited and should be booked in advance. Registration will close at 12:00 GMT on 30th April 2019 and early booking is recommended as we expect this event will be popular.
Registration is free and open to everyone.
Book now!
