Digital Preservation Carpentry
04 February 2019 |
This workshop has two aims: 1. To trial a hands-on technical lesson for digital preservation processes, using the pedagogical teaching style of the Carpentries (carpentries.org; librarycarpentry.org); and 2. To gather feedback from participants to enhance further development of digital preservation lessons within the Carpentries framework. This trial lesson will feature digital preservation concepts tightly coupled with experimentation with open source tools. The lesson is aimed at those who want to get from theoretical knowledge of digital preservation to practical skills, and who want to understand the reasoning behind tools and technology choices for handling digital content. Working IT knowledge is essential for participation in this workshop. Both established practitioners and those new to digital preservation theories and practice are encouraged to attend. Lesson content has been developed from input from the Australasia Preserves digital preservation community of practice.
