The British Library is seeking support for a research study on UK Web Archive user needs. Please find the details below:

Introduction 

The UK Web Archive (UKWA) is a collaborative initiative by the UK Legal Deposit Libraries—the British Library, National Library of Scotland, National Library of Wales, Bodleian Libraries, Oxford, Cambridge University Library and the Library of Trinity College Dublin – to collect, preserve, and provide access to UK websites. It ensures that digital content from UK websites is available for long-term historical, cultural, and scholarly research, especially as websites change, disappear, or are no longer maintained. The UK Web Archive is a vital repository of the UK's digital cultural heritage, preserving websites and online content for future generations.

We're pleased to invite the digital preservation community to contribute questions about cybersecurity and digital preservation ahead of an expert panel discussion during the upcoming DPC Members Forum and Networking Event (4 & 5 June) at the KB National Library of the Netherlands in The Hague.
