Our digital preservation experts work closely with the national and international digital preservation communities. We develop and implement best practice for very long term preservation of large scale and varied digital collections.

The team plays a key role within the Collection Management Department to implement best practice and policies across the digital content lifecycle. Operational activities are balanced against a proactive research and development programme. This ensures solutions remain effective despite ongoing and inevitable changes in the wider technological context.
