Do you have a clear plan for how you will retain collections so they can be accessed in 2, 5, 10 and more years’ time? Have you experienced challenges with preserving or accessing digital content? Are you looking for information, guidance or tools that make it possible to manage digital content for the long-term?
‘Digital Preservation – The Planets Way’ is a series of five three-day events across Europe. Each event considers the action that needs to be taken, explains the issues involved and introduces the Planets suite of tools and services. Delegates will carry out practical experiments on a sample collection to see how they may be able to use the technology in their institution, discuss preservation issues with the experts and developers of the Planets tools and share their experiences with colleagues in other institutions. At the event in Sofia, there is a special focus on the work of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and Open Society Archives. Planets and the Central European Initiative will host the second event at the Arena di Serdica hotel, Sofia, Bulgaria on Wednesday 16 – Friday 18 September.
