Sponsor of the Resilience, Maintenance and Continuity award, Nathan Tallman of APTrust said: ‘Digital preservation depends not only on new ideas, but on the sustained commitment of people who maintain, repair, adapt, and strengthen the infrastructure we all rely on. This category rightly shines a light on that essential work, much of it carried forward by generous communities and often by volunteer labour. It is time to recognize these champions of digital preservation.’
Before the judges decide on the winners, members of the Digital Preservation Coalition will be invited to cast their vote on each category once all the finalists have been announced. Members will be asked to select their first and second choices for each category and are asked to provide feedback to the finalists. Each Full Member, Associate and Allied Organisation of the DPC may submit one vote. Voting is open from Tuesday 16th June until Monday 6th July.
Following an interview with the Judges, winners will be revealed at the presentation ceremony on Thursday 15th October alongside the digital preservation community, friends, family and peers from leading organizations.
The Digital Preservation Awards are a world-wide celebration of significant and state-of-the-art contributions to securing our digital legacy and just one of the ways the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) helps to raise awareness of the strategic, cultural, and technological issues which make up the digital preservation challenge.
The Digital Preservation Awards are made possible by the expertise and support provided by our international panel of Judges, and funding from our sponsors:
