"Getting Ready for Digital Preservation” - Digital Preservation Summit Hamburg 2011, oct. 19./20.

Digital long-term preservation has become an important topic for almost every library, archive and museum. Preservation and long-lasting usability of valuable digital cultural and scientific holdings are central challenges the digital society is facing.
The Digital Preservation Summit 2011 addresses major issues of some of the first necessary tasks in the process of a successful and sustainable digital preservation practise.
We would like to invite you to our conference that is in step with actual practises:

• Listen to practitioners from large and small institutions reporting about their experiences made.
• Gain knowledge in workshops about pre-ingest and ingest tasks in digital preservation.
• Exchange ideas with colleagues around the world about challenges in digital preservation.
• Be part of an interactive panel discussion
