#DPClinic September – Registries of Good Practice

Click here to check your local time. 

How big is the digital preservation challenge, and 6 other impossible questions to (try and) answer before breakfast?

Join Andy Jackson and Paul Wheatley for a whistle stop tour of a brand new digital preservation workbench that will provide insight into your digital collection by drawing on a host of incredibly useful registry resources. We'll attempt to estimate how many different file formats are out there, how many file formats we can identify using the different registries, and show how you can analyse your digital collections against these knowledge bases.

The "Registries of Good Practice" Project is a collaboration between the Digital Preservation Coalition and Yale University Library. The project is exploring and developing different approaches to analyze, collate, present and, most importantly, make discoverable the many existing registries and collections of digital preservation good practice.

This DP Clinic will be a chance to hear about the exciting work we've been doing on this project whilst also giving you the chance to help shape where we go next with this agile project.
