Preserving our Digital Pasts: Stories, Methods, Futures Event

If you have any questions or queries, please contact the project team at [email protected] .

This event aims to bring together experts and practitioners to share insights and experiences in preserving digital artifacts. The day will be packed with informative talks, engaging panel discussions, and hands-on rapid training sessions. These activities are designed to not only educate but also to inspire and provoke thoughtful discussion on the future of digital preservation. We are particularly excited to unveil our new digital preservation assistant tool, which we believe has the potential to support a range of needs in the digital preservation community.

The event is free to attend, although spaces are limited. Secure your spot by filling out our registration form. We are committed to covering reasonable travel and accommodation expenses for UK-based attendees and selected international guests, as detailed in the registration form.
