Database Preservation: A Community Discussion

Click here to check your local time. 

Databases are complex digital objects that can be challenging to preserve. This topic was raised recently on the DPC-DISCUSSION mailing list and there was lots of interest in convening a meeting to discuss and share experiences as a community. We clearly can't find answers to all of your database preservation questions in one hour, but this is an opportunity to network and make useful connections. The meeting will end with an opportunity to share ideas around next steps for the this community - Is this a topic you want to continue to explore through continuing DPC activities over the next year? What would that look like? This session will not be recorded, but we hope to be able to share a summary of the discussions via the DPC blog.
