The proceedings of iPres 2022 contain the published and peer-reviewed submissions of the 18th International Conference on Digital Preservation. The conference was hosted by the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) in Glasgow, Scotland from the 12th-16th September 2022.
iPres 2022 met under the heading ‘Data for all, for good and for ever’. The call for contributions invited reflection and debate about how digital preservation can support flourishing communities, ecologies, economies and ideas, and it framed these around moments and ideas from the history of Glasgow. It also adapted the motto of the host city, ‘Let Glasgow Flourish’ with the subtitle ‘Let digits flourish.’
Five themes were expressed in the main headings of the conference: Community, Environment, Exchange, Innovation and Resilience.
Every paper and contribution which you will find in the proceedings adapts and interprets these themes, with no shortage of insight, care and creativity. So, while the conference title encouraged delegates to ‘let digits flourish’, the conference proceedings demonstrate, through every page and every paper, that iPres is flourishing too.
We invite you to read the Book of Proceedings and wish you a Happy #WDPD2022!
