NZ - Preserving Digital Information – Auckland

Thursday 6^th March, 2007.

CAVAL Training on behalf of RMAA

Digital information is being produced so much more rapidly than other forms with the result that libraries and archives of the future will inevitably be libraries and archives of digital content. To keep pace with the flood of new digital information, the library and archive of the near future will require the means to collect, describe, make available, store and preserve digital information in the digital domain. Primarily due to their dependence on a rapidly changing technological infrastructure, digital resources are significantly less permanent than their paper based equivalents. Their enduring accessibility into the future is far from assured. Of arguably greater concern however is the realization that the challenge is too large and complex for any one institution or country to solve on its own.

Topics covered in this session:

• Identifying and understanding the challenges
• Understanding the emerging solutions
• Identifying and applying your solutions
• Preserving digitizing
• Key resources on digital preservation

Outcomes of this session:

• Increased awareness of the challenges of preserving digital information
• Greater appreciation of the impermanence of digital information
• Understanding of emerging solutions to digital impermanence in archives and libraries
• Practical recommendations to avoid the “technological quicksand”
• Information on how to keep in touch with developments in the field of digital preservation
