Birkbeck College London - Malet Street
The DPC and the Archives and Records Association are pleased to invite students and researchers in archives, records management and librarianship to a half day conference on practical workplace skills in digital preservation. Hosted by University College London, and organised in partnership with the Universities of Aberystwyth and Dundee, this mini-conference will bring a select group of leading practitioners together with the next generation of archivists, records managers and ibrarians to discuss the challenges of digital collections management and digital preservation. In a lively set of presentations and discussions, each of the speakers will be invited to reflect on 'the things I wish I knew before I started', or 'what I actually do all day' giving students an advantage in their own career development, and helping those who frame the curriculum a chance to extend their students' readiness for the workplace.
This event is free of charge but will be popular and numbers are strictly limited, so please be sure to register early.
