The Canadian Association of Research Libraries and co-sponsoring organizations including Canadian Research Knowledge Network, Library and Archives Canada, Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec, Internet Archive Canada, Digital Research Alliance of Canada, and the Digital Preservation Coalition are excited to host an in-person 1.5-day summit on Canadian digital preservation.

This open event will provide an opportunity for those at Canadian institutions who have strategic or operational responsibility for long-term access and preservation of digital content to learn from each other about progress, practices and policies for digital preservation in a Canadian context. The program includes a keynote address, panel discussions, and breakout sessions that explore global and national digital preservation strategies, tools, and collaborative efforts. Networking opportunities, including a reception and an optional tour of the Library and Archives Canada’s Gatineau Preservation Centre, are also planned.

Why should you attend? You’ll have an opportunity to discuss:

  • Digital preservation developments, as well as ongoing challenges and opportunities in Canada;
  • New or emerging digital preservation workflows, toolkits, and best practices;
  • Impacts and opportunities with respect to artificial intelligence and machine learning;
  • Opportunities for collective investment and action in areas such as infrastructure, training and coordination of networked effort.
