IMPACT/OPF/IIPC VIRTUAL PANEL: PRESERVATION OF DIGITISED AND BORN-DIGITAL COLLECTIONS

This event has passed.

March 24, 2022 @ 14:30 - 15:45

The Open Preservation Foundation (OPF), the Impact Centre of Competence in Digitisation (IMPACT) and the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC) are delighted to invite you to our first joint Virtual Panel on Thursday 24th March at 13:30 UTC (London), 14:30 CET (Brussels) and 09:30 EDT (Washington D.C.).  

Overview

The management, curation and preservation of digital collections increasingly includes both digitised and born-digital materials. To what extent are these collections managed by the same internal workflows? How far are digitised and born-digital collections part of a  joined-up digital strategy? In what ways do experts from the digitisation, web and social media archiving and digital preservation teams work together? Are the available preservation solutions suitable for both digitised and born-digital materials? In what ways are digitised and born-digital materials made available to digital humanities researchers and the wider public?
In this 75 minute virtual panel, experts from OPF, IMPACT and IIPC Member institutions will explore this complex question at three levels. Firstly,organisationally, where do preservation, digitisation, and web and social media archiving ‘fit’ in your organisation? Secondly, which policies cover preservation, digitisation, and web and social media archiving? Thirdly, in what areas do interconnections between digitisation experts and born-digital curators and preservation teams already exist or would be beneficial?
The aim of this session is to create an informal exchange of best practices, between OPF, IMPACT and IIPC Member institutions to explore which interconnections would be valuable both within and between organisations to help ensure the sustainable, long-term preservation and use of digitised and born-digital collections.
