“We are very glad, therefore, to join the Digital Preservation Coalition and learn from our colleagues worldwide whilst improving the longevity of access to our diverse digital collections.”
Juan Bicarregui, Chair of the DPC was delighted to welcome NLI to the Coalition saying: “we are delighted that the National Library of Israel has chosen to join our growing international community. The challenges that NLI faces in its work are familiar to the many DPC members in national libraries and archives: so the insight and experience which NLI brings will be a very relevant too.”
