This document discusses common principles for digital preservation between archives and conservation. It outlines key points from the UNESCO Charter including the threats to digital heritage, the need for action, and strategies for digital continuity. Common challenges are assessing digital preservation needs, prioritizing long-term strategies, and creating a digital preservation plan. Successful stewardship requires selection policies, shared knowledge, support networks, and documentation standards. Relationships and partnerships are important for proactive planning, backup storage, and technical support to ensure long-term access and prevent the loss of digital cultural heritage.

The document summarizes the formation and activities of the African Digital Library Support Network (ADLSN) which aims to facilitate access to local digital content in Africa through open source digital library software. It discusses how the network was established in 2004 and has since expanded to include national centers in multiple African countries that provide training and support. The ADLSN has helped create over 65 digital collections containing 20,000 items across Africa. It faces challenges like low technical skills and lack of infrastructure but makes recommendations like ensuring training reaches the right people and engaging library schools.

Re-Reading the British Memorial Project #de2012

Nicole Beale

This document summarizes a project that aims to record church memorials and artifacts in a coastal region using open source and community-based approaches. The project team is multi-disciplinary and uses techniques like Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) to digitally capture objects. They work with local community groups and investigate open source tools, open practices of collaboration, and open access/data approaches to documentation. The goal is to preserve this cultural heritage while empowering communities and making the data widely accessible.

Collaborative development of born-digital archives to facilitate discovery | ...

ResearchLibrariesUK

This document discusses the potential for collaboration on developing tools and systems for managing born-digital archives. It notes that while individual archives have limited capacity, working at a network level through collaboration could help address common challenges more effectively. However, barriers to collaboration currently include inertia, uncertainty over costs and requirements, and the large scale of the problem. The document suggests that collaboration may be best suited to defined projects with shared technical objectives and outputs. It proposes further discussions to identify common areas and define initial next steps toward collaborative work.

Change in the Library

CILIP

This document discusses several topics related to digitizing collections for access and preservation in the digital humanities field. It begins by using the metaphor of a digital dance to represent research infrastructure and the many existing collections. It then discusses principles for making digitized data open, interoperable, citable, and preserved for long-term access. The document also examines drivers for digitizing collections such as utilitarianism, preservation, opportunism, and consumerism. Finally, it raises questions about how digitized collections could be viewed and transformed as datasets and corpora of knowledge in the future.

Museums Computer Group

Daria Cybulska – Head of Programmes (Wikimedia UK) The Wikimedian in Residence programme in the UK is about five years old. In 2017 they conducted research into the kinds of impact that can be expected from setting up residencies and how to maximise that impact over the short and long term. This session will explore how to collaborate with open knowledge via Wikimedia projects, and what sort of impact is possible after running a Wikimedian in Residence project. The dimensions of impact are increased reach of collections, change of internal and external perspective on the museum, and scalability across the cultural sector.

CLOCKSS

OCLC focuses on digital preservation for libraries in three key areas: 1) Providing workflow support for digital curation and preservation through products like CONTENTdm that integrate with preservation and asset management systems. 2) Supporting initiatives like CLOCKSS that have similar missions to libraries in supporting access to content. OCLC operates one of 12 mirrored repository sites for CLOCKSS. 3) Conducting research through projects and publications to help address challenges libraries face in selecting digital content for long-term preservation with limited budgets and technology constraints.

IFAD regional workshop 2009 presentation KM

Benoît THIERRY

IFAD aims to be a learning organization that systematically learns from its projects and programs to deliver high-quality services and help partners overcome poverty. It will share knowledge about rural poverty reduction to promote good practices, innovations, and influence policies. Each IFAD project should practice a virtuous circle of communicating, learning, and sharing knowledge. A project knowledge pyramid shows how communication, knowledge management, monitoring and evaluation, and financial information are all knowledge management activities. Projects should promote communication through a website, electronic archive, photos, press articles, and videos. They should also participate in local, national, regional and international forums and networks to facilitate knowledge sharing.
