• Why do we need to address the protection of cultural heritage in digital form?

• What makes digital content vulnerable in the 21st century?

• What happens if we do not develop strategic directions for the stewardship of digital information?

Block 2

• Basics for creating a digital preservation strategy, including reviews of ISO 16363, ISO 14721, NDSA best practices, Nestor, and other guiding methodologies.

• Digital preservation requires more than just appropriate technologies; strategies are important to be in place for staffing, documented procedures, risk management, financial planning, and setting long-term goals.

Block 3

• The technical aspect of digital content stewardship is related to its numerical nature - bit protection.

• Information on technologies and tools, strategic planning, procedures, decision-making processes, and specific examples from practice.

• What you can achieve yourself and approaches to document your needs clearly in order to select and implement appropriate solutions for your specific context.

Block 4

• The question of access - how to make the most of digital content in the digital world - is critical to preservation.

• Information on technologies and tools, strategic planning, procedures, decision-making processes, and specific examples from practice.

• What you can achieve yourself and approaches to document your needs clearly in order to select and implement appropriate solutions for your specific context.

Each block will last a maximum of 90 minutes. Each block presents questions and responses essential to understanding the field. Orientation in the discussed issues is not a condition for participation. The seminar will not prescribe specific procedures and techniques, but rather will provide an overview of the field and current practices with the goal of sharing experience and generating discussion. The seminar is not directly intended for IT specialists. A knowledge of technology is not necessary.
