Digital Preservation Management Workshop

 About the Workshop

ANDS is pleased to present a two-day Digital Preservation Management Workshop, based on the highly-regarded Workshops developed at Cornell University and now offered through ICPSR at the University of Michigan.

This workshop is designed to meet the needs of organisations in ensuring that their research data is available in the longer term.  It will focus on managing digital content over time, with an emphasis on research data.  It will provide guidance on developing a balanced framework to underpin a digital preservation program, covering organisational, technical and resource issues. 

Issues to be covered include scalability, the complexity of the organization trying to develop the digital preservation program, and resources, especially the expertise of the staff. The emphasis will be on developing the framework, techniques and confidence to preserve data as technology changes, focusing not on the use of specific tools, but rather the evaluation and selection of new tools.
