Course Details
to July 19th, 2013
Glasgow, Scotland
This week-long event, hosted by the Digital Preservation Coalition at the University of Glasgow will bring together representatives from projects and organisations at the leading edge of digital preservation research, providing attendees with training at an advanced level. The training will aim to cover issues across the complete digital preservation life-cycle by addressing topics within four main themes: Governance and Management, Digital Object/Data Creation, Preservation Planning, and Infrastructure.
The course is a distinctive addition to digital preservation training activities in Europe and is the first iteration of what is to become a yearly training event, bringing together those at the forefront of digital preservation research and training. It is intended for managers and staff already working in digital preservation. It assumes a working knowledge of existing standards like the Open Archival Information System - OAIS - as well as an understanding of how issues of preservation apply to their own institution. An optional half-day digital preservation ‘boot-camp’ will be held prior to the commencement of the main course for those wishing a refresher on key concepts.
