When politicians come to office, they often set out their plan for the first 100 days. I am taking a longer timeframe and reflecting on the first six months (roughly 180 days) of working with a digital preservation system. 

In September 2023, The Postal Museum invested in Preservica. I blogged about the work involved in getting to that stage for World Digital Preservation Day last year (Acquiring a Digital Preservation System - Digital Preservation Coalition (dpconline.org)). This was a significant achievement but as anyone who has gone ahead on this journey will tell you, it is a milestone not a destination. 

We are pleased to announce that the Digital Repository of Ireland’s biennial conference, Digital Preservation for the Arts, Social Sciences & Humanities (DPASSH), will be co-hosted by the University of Limerick and the Hunt Museum in Limerick, Ireland on 27-28th June 2024. We invite papers, lightning talks and posters on the theme of Collections as Data / Data as Collections.
