Call to Union / International Association members: please contribute your / your network's digital preservation expertise to our new survey!
In EOSC EDEN, we are interested in how digital preservation professionals across the globe currently work. We are keen to understand the existing frameworks, guidelines and practices for identification, selection and appraisal of data for “long-term” preservation – and what “long term” means in different organisational and professional settings. This is an important area where sharing knowledge can make a meaningful impact as digital preservation continues to grow as a diverse field and community.
To that end, we're running an inquiry to gather, compare and evaluate current knowledge and practice. We need your help to gain a more comprehensive picture of these frameworks, guidelines and practices in the field. Written from the perspective of digital preservationists working within the sector, we have created a short and focused survey which should take no more than about five to seven minutes to complete:
The survey is open until 30 June 2025. Please take part now at:
