We are holding a webinar on January 16th at 11AM EST/4PM BST with special guests to celebrate Preserve365®'s launch!Join us and our expert panel for a session that will explore the challenges and importance of managing long-term records in Microsoft 365. With nearly 30% of Microsoft data needing to be retained for more than 7 years, the sheer scale of data to archive, govern and access is immense! Many organizations also fall prey to the pitfalls of using cold storage as archiving, instead of Active Digital Preservation that enables you to always quickly access and read your files in future friendly formats.Hear from:If you are interested in attending, we have a registration form set up on the Preservica events page here.

From [pasig-discuss] -----------Dear all, Are you passionate about coding in Python, teaching others and supporting the digital preservation community? Or would you like to improve your coding skills and learn how to use Python for your digital preservation work?  If so, the BitCurator Consortium (BCC) and Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) invite you to join one of the Python Study Group Launch and Information Sessions online on Tuesday 17 and Wednesday 18 October! The information session will follow a webinar format.

Sharing the following call for participants from the SAA Electronic Records Section listserv.

I hope some of you throw your name in the hat:The Collection Management Section will be hosting a webinar this spring on the theme of digital records and collection management, and we are actively seeking presenters!Do you have clever workflows for managing electronic (or hybrid) records and collections? What information are you tracking, and what tools are you using? What are some of the challenges or hurdles that you've encountered in implementing a system for managing electronic records? How do you distinguish between born-digital and digitized records (or do you)? How do you distinguish between donor-digitized materials and originals in a collection management system?

Hi everyone-I was wondering if Preservica had any plans to attend the NAGARA conference in July 2023?  I think I’m going to go this year!Thanks!Ashley

The Best Practices Exchange (BPE) is one of those conferences that slips my radar until I need information about how the archives community is thinking about X (insert electronic records, born digital archives, digital preservation, etc. here). Inevitably my google search will return a presentation title from a previous BPE (un)conference that seems to perfectly answer my question. And I’m reminded once again that I forgot to mark this event on my calendar and I’ve missed it for another year! So, imagine my delight when CoSA partnered with BPE for their 2022 conference. As a former archivist at the Texas State Library and Archives Commission, the Council of State Archivists (CoSA) will forever be on my radar. And Preservica has long had a supportive and collaborative relationship with CoSA. This was finally my year for BPE/CoSA! Thank you TSLA!Tennessee State Library and Archives, Image courtesy of TSLA Facebook pageThe (un)conference was hosted at the Tennessee State Library and Archi

Web-based material is at high risk of loss due to the ephemerality of the internet and this risk, combined with an overwhelming volume of websites and the limited resources available to many institutions, often leads to abandonment of traditional archival methods when collecting the web. Archivists opt for broadly scoped captures of top-level domains, leaving behind the appraisal, arrangement, description, and discovery work applied to collections in more familiar formats. In this session, a Dartmouth College archivist makes the case for aligning web
