The availability and protection of vital information held by organisations is becoming increasingly complex. The hardware that holds digital assets is quickly becoming obsolete, as are the file formats and software which interpret them.

With technology obsolescence threatening the future availability of digital information, organisations need to not only realise the potential risks and costs of digital asset loss, but also understand how to proactively address these issues for future risk mitigation.

To be able to maintain the accessibility, authenticity and integrity of information over time, digital preservation strategies, tools and procedures need to be developed and resources need to be made available.

This connected forum will provide you with opportunities to hear timely and practical digital preservation case studies. You’ll be armed with techniques to:

• Deal effectively with the growing amount of digital objects in your organisation
• Retain the accessibility, integrity and authenticity of digital assets over time
• Assess the best digital preservation and digitisation methods for your organisation
• Develop digital preservation policies
• Equip staff for digital preservation tasks
• Make effective use of standardised approaches
