Shaping a national consortium for digital preservation
This paper asks the question “what form of digital preservation collective is best for Scotland?” and then sets out the options being explored under the leadership of the National Library of Scotland (NLS). As a result this paper straddles several areas across the themes of the conference. It deals with the desire for the creation of an integrated national preservation infrastructure in Scotland. It also looks at the ways we can develop an appetite for collaboration to align differing institutional contexts for preservation to build a better community. Additionally it examines issues around working within the strategic environment to coordinate local, regional and national approaches across Scotland and the United Kingdom.
