Preservica “Digital Preservation: 2030” Post-Conference Discussion
Date: 14 February
Time: 5:30 PM
Location: Sala Alfonso Reyes, El Colegio de México
Cost: FREE
Preservica’s Jon Tilbury invites you to join a debate, engage in discussion and enjoy a drink in the workshop ‘Digital Preservation : 2030’. Jon will be joined by a group of experts who will be considering where digital preservation might be over the next decade whilst you enjoy a tipple of your choice.
The tendency at conferences is to focus on the here and now rather than the future. We can think about technology evolution but also the gradual shift of digital preservation to be part of the standard information life cycle as understood not only by academia and cultural heritage but also by business and personal users…If this is the future what will it look like and how do we get there?
- Who will the DP users be in 2030?
- What content will they be conserving?
- What tools will they use?
- What is the business model?
- What will their user experience be?
- How do we deliver DP at the scale necessary?
- How to be persuade the content creation and hosting vendors to make our life easier?
- What does the community need to do to make this happen?
Ponder these questions and join in with the debate in the Auditorium at Colmex Thursday February 14th after the closing session of PASIG 2019.

Digital Preservation Peer Assessment Workshop (Northeast Document Conservation Center)
Date: February 15, 2019
Time: 930 am-330 pm
Location: El Colegio de México, Biblioteca Daniel Cosío Villegas
Building a digital preservation program can be a complex undertaking, but performing an assessment can help manage the many steps needed to create a sustainable digital preservation program. Self-assessment and working with a consultant can both be valuable, but a peer assessment goes one step further to create a community of support for building and sustaining a digital preservation program. Participants will leave this workshop with a peer assessment tool to implement in their own communities and will gain valuable practice using the tool during the workshop.
Workshop teacher: Frances Harrell, Senior Preservation Specialist
