Sponsor of the Most Distinguished Student Work in Digital Preservation award, Gali Halevi of CLOCKSS said: "I am deeply inspired by the high caliber of research conducted across a wide array of captivating and varied topics within the realm of digital preservation. It's truly heartening to witness such diversity in geography among those involved in this field. The passion, dedication, and skill exhibited by the upcoming generation of digital preservationists, spanning all levels of higher education, promise to play a pivotal role in safeguarding our digital heritage for generations to come."
Before the judges decide on the winners, members of the Digital Preservation Coalition will be invited to cast their vote on each category once all the finalists have been announced. Members will be asked to select their first and second choices for each category and are asked to provide feedback to the finalists. Each Full Member, Associate and Allied Organisation of the DPC may submit one vote. Voting will open on Friday 14th June.
