with the “digital preservation is people” line going around, i’d like to suggest a slight modification: “digital preservation is *dedicated* people”

here’s 3 of them - put faces to all of the hard work, peeps

love @mopennock closing statement that digital preservation is, at the end of the day, a people thing. it's often framed as a technical or finance problem, but it all doesn't matter if you don't have the people to do it. #memorymakers18

[somaya langley @criticalsenses]

.@EpiphanyLboro talking about the past, present & the future of #digitalpreservation & what we’ve done for the #dp0c for #wdpd2018

[somaya langley @criticalsenses]

.@EpiphanyLboro talking about three levels of #digitalpreservation activity in the future - active digital content coupled with #digipres & audiences changing dynamically. a direct output of the #dp0c research we’ve been doing over the past two years

Next Thursday 29th November is World Digital Preservation Day - join @criticalsenses & @EpiphanyLboro to hear them talk about #digitalpreservation and the challenges presented by #audiovisual collections https://t.co/DL2nvQFioZ - presented as part of the #dp0c project

[somaya langley @criticalsenses]

so many of the tools that #digitalpreservation relies on, were nighttime/weekend self-driven projects (either hobbies or to solve a problem that someone had in a work context). not nearly enough recognition of the volunteer work effort (aka love jobs) in #digipres #nttw3 #dp0c

[Cambridge DigiPres @CamDigPres]

presenting today at #nttw3 conference at @BFI. talking about what steps to take when audiovisual is yet to become a priority for your organisation - some work that has come out of collection profiling the @theUL's AV collections & developing strategy, as part of the #dp0c project

[James Edward Mooney @JamesMooneyUK]

As we near the end of our project, I'm meeting up with Dave Gerrard (my Cambridge Polonsky Fellow counterpart) at Birmingham Library @LibraryofBham to discuss what we think of Digital Preservation now and what the future might hold. Expect a blog post soon! #DP0C

About preserving #digitalhumanities projects: “there's no one perfect solution & each have pros & cons..[but]..these methods will help ensure that digital material is documented, preserved & potentially accessible” #digitalpreservation #DP0C @CamDigPres https://t.co/FuMOKdwWjU

[Cambridge DigiPres @CamDigPres]

thank you to everyone in the #digitalpreservation community for filling out the #dp0c & @dpc_chat maturity survey - we received over 300 responses. we know some respondents weren't able to answer all questions, however this is still a reasonable dataset for #digipres to work with

[Cambridge DigiPres @CamDigPres]

#DP0C team in collab with @dpc_chat have devised a #digitalpreservation staff resourcing, maturity & strategy survey - now we need your input.
