- A digital preservation community which provides an effective platform for meaningful and sustained professional exchange.
- A climate of public and institutional policy which is better informed and better inclined towards digital preservation.
- Competent and responsive workforces that are ready to address the challenges of digital preservation.
- Greater maturity in digital preservation through knowledge exchange, advice, authoritative publications and informative events.
- Accountable and sustainable organizational functions and structures to ensure good governance.
Digital Preservation Handbook
The Handbook identifies good practice in creating, managing and preserving digital materials. By providing a strategic overview of the key issues, discussion and guidance on strategies and activities, and pointers to key projects and reports, the Handbook provides guidance for institutions and individuals and a range of tools to help them identify and take appropriate actions.
