IAW Webinar: What I wish I knew about digital preservation: Collaboration and Networking Edition

What I wish I knew about digital preservation: Collaboration and Networking Edition (DPC)

Ever wondered how to get started with preserving digital materials? Ever wondered who to ask for help and support? What would you ask a panel of digital preservation support networks given the chance? 

This International Archives Week, the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) and Inernational Council on Archives are reprising the successful webinar ‘What I wish I knew about Digital Preservation’, this time focusing on collaboration and networking. The webinar will be a roundtable discussion bringing together experts from around the world to discuss what they (now) know about digital preservation, in particular about their experiences of collaboration and networking in achieving digital preservation goals.

In this webinar, the DPC will introduce the theme of digital preservation before handing over to an expert panel of international collaborators within the digital preservation community. The panellists will each introduce their networks and their own areas of expertise, before answering questions and discussing with attendees how to get started or make progress with digital preservation challenges through collaboration. 

Register and pre-submit your questions for the digital preservation collaboration panel.
