Digital preservation workshop + Christmas Gathering

Discover how to confidently manage, document and preserve digital collections in your museum.

This practical, hands-on training day will introduce the key stages of digital preservation, from transferring and documenting digital files to appraisal, accessioning and long-term preservation. You’ll explore the tools and resources available to help ensure your digital assets remain authentic, accessible and usable for future generations.

Following a short introduction to key concepts and resources, the afternoon will focus on a practical, step-by-step demonstration of the appraisal and accessioning process using freely available tools.

The workshop is designed to be informal, practical and accessible to anyone with an interest in digital preservation, regardless of previous experience. You’re welcome to bring a laptop and examples of digital material from your own collections if you’d like to follow along, but there’s no expectation to do so. You can just as easily take part by watching the demonstrations, asking questions and joining the discussions.

Whether you’re just starting to think about digital preservation or looking to build on your existing knowledge, this is an opportunity to develop your understanding and explore practical approaches you can take back to your museum.
