Digital preservation activities at the British Library (23-02-09)
The document discusses digital preservation activities at the British Library. It provides an overview of the Digital Preservation Team and their internal activities including a digital preservation strategy and risk assessment. It also discusses several external digital preservation projects the library participates in including LIFE, LIFE 2, LIFE 3, and Planets. It introduces the LIFE Model for digital preservation lifecycles and stages.

Research output from the visual and performing arts perspectives. Few repositories hold this kind of material. A range of text-based materials Mostly journal and conference papers.

Editor's Notes
- #4 Risk Analysis Build an accurate view of digital assets, provide evidence to prioritise activities Cover physical media, software environments, disk- and file-formats Highlight: 3% of optical media have unreadable files DLP Digital Preservation Project Ensure that DLP exploits new methods and technology Provide expertise DP Change Manager Ensure that Library processes support long-term access to digital content Review and adjust content handling processes Content Stabilisation Project Stabliise legacy content on handheld media; make it ready for DLP Address media failure; damaged items, poor or inconsistent packaging Technology watch Keep up-to-date on file formats, preservation tools and technology E.g. Disk imaging, checksum
- #5 Digital Lives AHRC funded project, focusing on the preservation of e-manuscripts PRESERV2 JISC funded project developing demonstrator preservation services, primarily to UK HE. BL involved in an advisory role Partners include TNA, Oxford and Southampton Universities ROAR Demonstrator: http://roar.eprints.org/ (see Preserv profile options) INSPECT Developing methodology to identify and categorise the significant properties of digital objects JISC funded BL involved in an advisory role Workshop at BL PLANETS: € 15m budget, 16 partners, 4 years
- #7 Approach – little evidence, so develop estimation approach
- #12 Bit-stream preservation ► Book storage provision Content preservation ► Conservation procedures
