Sophie Shilling, Violet Hamence-Davies and Nik McGrath from the Victorian Branch committee have invited digital preservation experts to create home videos responding to questions around this year's World Digital Preservation Day (WDPD2020) theme, 'Digits: For Good'. This year's theme is about connecting vital information to people for the greater good. We have asked our speakers to share how digital preservation helps connect information to people for the greater good. We've also asked our experts to describe projects they have worked on, and any digital preservation tips they have based on their experiences, skills and knowledge from many years working in the sector.
Sophie, Violet and Nik would like to thank the following people for their contributions to the video:
- Jaye Weatherburn, Program Manager, Digital Preservation, University of Melbourne; Head of Australasia and Asia-Pacific, DPC
- Sarah Middleton, Head of Advocacy and Community Engagement, DPC
- William Kilbride, Executive Director, DPC
- Paul Wheatley, Head of Research and Practice, DPC
- Jenny Mitcham, Head of Good Practice and Standards, DPC
- Jarrod Harvey, Digital Records Consultant, NAB
- Valerie Love, Senior Digital Archivist Kaipupuri Pūranga Matihiko Matua, National Library of New Zealand
- Lee-Anne Raymond, Senior Coordinator MV Images, Museums Victoria
Nik and Sophie would like to thank Violet for her amazing work in editing and compiling the footage provided from our speakers.
