Rapidly changing technology means that digital resources are significantly
less permanent than their paper-based equivalents.  Their enduring
accessibility into the future is thus far from assured.  Of arguably greater
concern however is the realisation that the challenge is too large and
complex for any one institution or country to solve on its own.  Although
excellent cooperative work is taking place on this issue around the world,
particularly in Australia, if we fail to meet the challenge then the result
will be a permanent hole in our cultural and documentary heritage.

TOPICS covered:
- identifying and understanding the challenges of preserving digital
information
- understanding the emerging solutions
- identifying and applying your solutions
- preservation digitising
- key resources on digital preservation

WHO should attend? Archivists, curators, librarians and records managers
with responsibility for digital collections; ICT professionals seeking an
awareness of digital preservation issues; independent researchers and
curators without attachment to a major cultural institution, and other
interested professionals and professional bodies seeking to raise their
awareness of this issue

ALAN HOWELL is a consultant in archive and library storage and logistics and
