DROID is a free open-source software tool developed by The National Archives in the UK (TNA) and used by archivists across the world to help characterise and assess their digital records and plan for their long-term accessibility. 

In this session Steve Daly, who is responsible for Digital Preservation at the National Archives and the Product Owner for DROID, will give a thorough introduction to the application and other related free open-source tools. Starting at an introductory level, the session will guide you from first click to more advanced features of the application.

This session will cover:

• Basic and advanced usage

• Little-known features, tips, and tricks

• Working with digital files held in cloud storage

• Automating DROID to integrate it with digital preservation workflows 

• Other related tools provided by TNA

After a presentation, there will be plenty of time for questions and discussion. Whether you are an experienced user of DROID or new to this tool, do come along to find out more!
