Digital Preservation

• Undertaking a non-intrusive survey of collections for digital content
• Undertaking an audit of born-digital material using DROID software to understand how much material is held and in which file formats to determine future activities
• Having conversations with depositors about born-digital archives
• Establishing a digital forensic workstation
• Approaches to cataloguing and providing access to born-digital archives
• Introducing digital forensics into your processes and workflows
• Creating, reviewing and updating digital preservation policies
• How born-digital archives might become a seamless element of the institution’s collection management process and workflows
• Using the DPC-Rapid Assessment Model as a framework for assessing and then developing your digital preservation capabilities

I always work within an institution’s specific technical environment and support existing relationships with ICT, collections management and digital preservation suppliers.
