Joy Davidson | 14 January 2009

Digital Preservation Europe has just announced its third international Digital Preservation Challenge that aims to promote innovation at all levels and will provide an insight into the range of digital preservation risks currently being faced. They are looking for ideas from creative students from all backgrounds with an interest in computer science. The challenge is to develop digital preservation solutions that overcome the barriers hindering access to five digital objects, each accompanied by a scenario based on real-life situations: Electronic art, Web archiving and Unknown files.
