The DPC, with support from the Archives and Records Association and the Institute for Historical Research, is pleased to invite students and researchers in archives, records management and librarianship to a one day conference on practical workplace skills in digital preservation set to take place on Friday 22nd January at Senate House, Malet Street, London.

This conference will bring a select group of leading practitioners together with the next generation of archivists, records managers and librarians to discuss the challenges of digital collections management and digital preservation.  The day will open with a consideration of digital preservation basics and a scan of emerging trends in digital preservation.  In the afternoon, a group of invited speakers will be invited to reflect on 'the things they wish they knew before they started', or 'what I actually do all day' giving students an advantage in their own career development and helping those who frame the curriculum a chance to extend their students' readiness for the workplace.

Places are strictly limited and must be booked in advance to guarantee a seat. Registration is free and priority will be given to students currently undertaking a degree programme in archives studies, records management, librarianship or related subjects. Please visit the event page for more information on the conference and to register for your place.
