In this Watch Party we revisit a recording from the #DPClinic in February 2025 where the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) shared their Digital Preservation Framework for Risk Assessment and Preservation Planning. The Framework is published via a public-facing website (https://www.archives.gov/preservation/digital-preservation/risk) and as a linked data resource (https://www.archives.gov/preservation/digital-preservation/linked-data), and the source information is also available via a GitHub repository (https://github.com/usnationalarchives/digital-preservation). We’ll get an overview of the information contained in the Framework, and how it is being used. If you'd like to read an accessible introduction to the Framework in advance of the event, then take a look at this excellent article by Hannah Wang.

After this we will be joined by Elizabeth Long, Assistant Director of Preservation at the National Archives of Australia who will talk about current approaches for risk assessment and preservation planning at her organisation, before we move to a general discussion.

This event will include an opportunity for Q&A with our speaker and the wider community discussing the themes raised.
