Vanderbilt University and the Digital Preservation Coalition are hosting a daylong "Introduction to Digital Preservation" event on Thursday, April 24 open to all! This takes place before the Friday, April 25 DPC Member Forum. Many of us have some level of experience with all kinds of digital and digital preservation systems, but you'll find that this event will provide a platform-agnostic perspective on digital preservation. This event is recommended for

Junior staff recently appointed and looking for opportunities to build their professional networks;

New entrants to digital preservation seeking to apply professional know-how to this new field;

Experienced practitioners who have clear insights into the challenges of digital preservation in their own institutions.
