As more content is created and maintained in digital formats, it is important to begin thinking about what to preserve and how to preserve it. This workshop focuses on the issues of selecting an appropriate preservation strategy for digital material, maintaining material in a digital format, and the potential use of a variety of digital preservation tools and options.

At the end of this workshop you will be able to:

• Understand the concepts of content, context, structure, reliability, and authenticity of digital material and how they relate to preservation.
• Identify the available options for preservation of digital material.
• Make appropriate preservation decisions for digital material.
