Digital Preservation: What Does it Really Look Like? (Learn with Scholars Portal)

Originally recorded: October 21, 2021 Instructor: Grant Hurley, Digital Preservation Librarian, Scholars Portal Slides: https://bit.ly/SP-learn-digipres Most would agree that libraries and archives should preserve digital research collections for the future. The digital record of human activity is vast, complex, expanding. It includes everything from born-digital personal archives, publications, audiovisual materials, research data, statistics, and geodata, and websites and software, to digitized files created from threatened analogue sources like photograph negative collections and magnetic tapes. But while an understanding of the importance of digital preservation is widely shared, few understand what the real, day-to-day work of digital preservation involves. This webinar introduces the functions of digital preservation with an emphasis on demonstrating the actual technologies and strategies used by preservationists. It discusses the basics of how digital files are constructed, how files are stored safely, and how a suite of specialized tools are used for management and access over time. An understanding of these methods and functions will help effectively build and assess systems, workflows and tools to move digital preservation work from aspiration to action. -- Drawing on the specialized technical skills developed by Scholars Portal staff, "Learn with Scholars Portal" is a free webinar series that helps OCUL/library staff develop practical technical skills and expertise in new areas.
