Digital preservation: the coordinated processes and actions required to ensure digital material remains accessible despite technological obsolescence. But what does that actually look like in a practical sense, and what does the day-to-day work in a Digital Preservation team at a cultural institution entail? 
My session will discuss:
-the practical activities of working in digital preservation
-the skills required to work in this field
-how technology isn’t just about what we preserve for the future, but what we understand from the past
-the need for more visibility of digital preservation as a career avenue
-digital confidence, and how research skills play a big part in digital preservation
I hope with my session I can break down the complexity of the work that I do and give people an insight into a challenging but rewarding area of work in the GLAMR sector. I strongly believe in sharing what I have learned to make the journey easier, equitable, and more accessible for those who come after me.
