Documenting Digital Preservation: watch party

Check your local time for the event here.

This month we launched our Guide to Digital Preservation Documentation. This guide is the result of a series of focus groups the DPC held with its members to gather together good practice advice, guidance and case studies on digital preservation documentation. The resulting publication encapsulates the wisdom shared by DPC members and provides practical advice on how to move forward with documentation. 

Following a workshop event to launch the guide earlier this month, this ‘watch party’ event has been timed to share some of those presentations with the DPC community in the Australasia and the Asia Pacific region as well as drawing in local case studies from some of those who were involved in the creation of the guide.  Presentations will include a number of different examples of how organizations have developed and created their own documentation using a range of different tools and approaches.

As well as watching a selection of presentations from the launch event on 14th September, we will also hear additional case studies from two of our documentation focus group attendees:

• Carey Garvey, Senior Digital Preservation Specialist, State Library Victoria - Developing procedures for processing incoming digital acquisitions at State Library Victoria.

• Matthew Burgess, Lead Digital Archivist, State Library New South Wales - Documenting digital preservation workflows and procedures across multiple teams at the State Library of NSW
