Dates: May 23-25, 2011

A number of countries have embarked on ambitious digital preservation programs at the local and/or national level. The “Aligning National Approaches to Digital Preservation (external link)” Conference will provide a forum in which national preservation programs may share information with each other in order to begin building strategic international collaborations to support the preservation of our collective cultural memory.

The outcomes for the event will be a strategic alignment of national approaches to enable new forms of international collaboration and an edited volume that documents an action plan for building collaboration among interested digital preservation initiatives.

In addition, directly following the main conference on May 26th, there will be a Roundtable Meeting on the Economic Sustainability of Digital Information (ESDI Roundtable) held in the Cupola Hall of the National Library of Estonia.
