Subject: Managing the library and archive environment : NPO leaflet and
training day
The National Preservation Office announces the latest title in its series
of Preservation Guidance leaflets, Managing the library and archive
environment. It can be downloaded from
http://www.bl.uk/services/npo/pdf/environment.pdf. Paper copies are
available on request from npo at bl.uk. The production of this title has
been supported by Collections Link www.collectionslink.org.uk
<http://www.collectionslink.org.uk/> , where it is also available to
download.=20
A training day on environmental monitoring and control will be held on 19
June 2007. For details and registration see
http://www.bl.uk/services/npo/environment207.html. Participants in this
course have said "It was really interesting to hear and talk about the
different ways of collecting data and then how to interpret it", "a good
basis for establishing appropriate environmental monitoring", and that
they would "attack the situation with confidence" or "be more pro-active
in monitoring".
In Knowing the Need, the NPO's report on preservation need in UK
libraries and archives, we found that 58% of material in archives and 88%
of material in libraries was not held in an appropriately monitored and
controlled environment. This is one of the most significant
preservation weaknesses we found, and we have developed this guidance and
training course to help libraries and archives initiate
improvements.=20
The National Preservation Office has been awarded the CILIP Seal of
Recognition based on an independent review of the content of its courses
and its engagement with the CILIP Body of Professional Knowledge.
Attendance certificates are issued on request

****APOLOGIES FOR CROSS POSTING****
Reminder
The Digital Preservation Coalition is accepting entries for the third
Digital Preservation Award.
Are you completing an exceptional digital preservation project? If so, why
not apply for the Digital Preservation Award, worth Ł5000.
This is the eleventh anniversary of the Conservation Awards, sponsored by
Sir Paul McCartney, and is the third year to include the prestigious
Digital Preservation Award, which recognises the many new initiatives
being carried out by museums, libraries, galleries and archives in the
challenging field of digital preservation.
The Awards will be presented at the British Museum on the 27th of
September 2007. Short-listed applicants attract significant publicity, and
receive a certificate recognising their achievement at the presentation
event.
To be eligible for the Digital Preservation Award, a project must
demonstrate leadership and advancement in digital preservation which will
benefit the UK. It must focus on preserving digital materials (whether
"born digital" or digitised copies), rather than on the use of
digitisation as a preservation reformatting tool. Only projects that have
been completed by 31 March 2007 will be considered for the Award.
Applicants from overseas are welcomed, providing that the project can
demonstrate benefit to the UK.
The deadline for applications is 31 March 2007.
To apply for the Digital Preservation Award online, please complete the
DPA/07 application form on the Conservation Awards website:

First International Workshop on Database Preservation (PresDB'07)
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 23
March DCC, Edinburgh, UK
http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/hmueller/presdb07/
Most of scientific research is now based on digital data resources, and
databases are playing an in creasingly important role. Much of the data is
either impossible (e.g. climate and demographic data ) to reproduce or can
only be recovered at enormous costs (e.g. data from high energy physics
exper iments or space flight missions). Nearly every reference manual,
dictionary and gazetteer benefits from some form of database management
support, and there has been an explosion in the number of cur ated
databases in biology. These databases represent a huge investment of human
effort. The need fo r preservation is self-evident.
While considerable thought has been given in the past to the preservation
of fixed "digital objects ", the preservation of databases, which have an
internal structure and which may change over time, poses new challenges.
Typically databases are centrally managed, and their survival depends on
the viability of commercial organisations or the continued public funding
of data centres. Libraries, t he traditional curators of scientific and
scholarly reference material, have largely abrogated thei r archival
responsibility to databases.
Database preservation raises new technical, economic and legal issues. For
example:
-- What are the salient features of a database that should be preserved?
-- What are the different stages in the database preservation's life
cycle? -- How do we keep archived databases readable and usable in the
long term (at acceptable cost)? -- How do we separate the data from a
specific database management environment? -- How can we preserve the
original data semantics and structure?
-- How can we preserve data while it continues to evolve?
-- How can we have efficient preservation frameworks, while retaining the
ability to query differen t database versions?
-- How can multi-user online access be provided to hundreds of archived
databases containing teraby tes of data?
-- Can we move from a centralised model to a distributed, redundant model
of database preservation?
-- What documentation is preserved together with a database, and in what
format? -- What are the legal encumbrances on database preservation?
-- What can be learned from traditional archival appraisal for the
selection of databases for prese rvation?
-- To what extent can the preservation strategies, and procedural policies
developed by archivists be adapted for databases?
The workshop aims to bring together an interdisciplinary group of
researchers and practitioners who
will address archival issues associated with databases. All participants
presentations will be hos
ted by the workshop site and a short report with the final conclusions of
the workshop discussions will be published.
Organization
===========PresDB is an informal workshop organized by a small executive
committee. The one-day program of the
workshop will consist of oral presentations and brainstorming sessions.
Attendance will be mainly
by invitation from the executive committee. To stimulate interaction and
discussion, participants a re also invited to submit short position papers
until 09/03/2007 (submissions will be send via e-ma il to Vassilis
Christophides christop at ics.forth.gr).
Timing and Venue
===============The workshop will be take place the 23 of March at the UK
Digital Curation Centre and the Database Group in the School of
Informatics, University of Edinburgh.
Executive Committee
==================Peter Buneman, University of Edinburgh, UK

EUROPEAN CONFERENCE
ARCHITECTURE AND DIGITAL ARCHIVES
Architecture in the digital age: a question of memory
Paris, 8-10 Nov. 2007
Call for papers
Within the framework of the Gau:di European Project (Governance,
Architecture and Urbanism: a Democratic Interaction, a research programme
supported by the European Union under the Culture 2000 Programme), a
conference is being organised on the long-term preservation and use of
architects' digital archives, to be held in Paris, at the Cité de
l'architecture et du patrimoine a nd at the
Institut national d'histoire de l'art.
For digital archives in general, research carried out over the last few
years on the long-term preservation is starting to produce some convergent
recommendations. In the world of architecture,
however, these recommendations prove to be inadequate because of at least
three factors: the structural complexity of the digital files produced
(consisting of layers, integrating a variety of
presentations, referring to linked external files etc.), the great variety
of new kinds of document s
(graphics, 3D models, animations, fly through, mixed presentations and so
on), and finally the larg e
number and extremely variable size of architecture firms. 'Archival care
awareness' and a general knowledge about preservation needs are not
current among architecture firms. All these factors resu lt
in very diversified behaviour. Archiving institutions who are responsible
for the historic preserva tion
of architecture archives are encountering, through a lack of professional
specialisation, as many problems as the firms themselves.
The objective of the conference is to bring together archivists,
architects, researchers in archite cture or
history of architecture as well as researchers in computer science and IT
practitioners and to encourage discussion on the preservation of digital
architectural archives, on their use and their
enhancement.
Preservation implies technical choices, in particular in terms of
migration to other formats than t he
original file format, and poses the question of the choice of permanent
and open formats. Since thi s is
not without consequence on processing times and necessary investment, it
is important to evaluate and compare with the processing of traditional
archives. On the other hand, this new documentary material reorientates
the consultation of archives, research and enhancement. The very nature of
digital archives poses questions on their circulation and their use by
researchers.
The conference will be organised around a series of presentations of
real-life cases that are integ rated
into a particular action of the Gau:di European Programme, the
Architectural Archives action. Since
2002, this action has brought together a group of European Institutions
managing architectural archives and resulted in 2004 in the creation of a
website (www.architecturearchives.net, a documentary and information
resource portal on archives for use by architecture firms). Since 2005,
each institution in the group has been working on a case study with an
architecture agency or on an
architect's archives (the firms Snřhetta, Wilkinson Eyre, Mario Botta,
Alfonso Mercurio, Cesare Val le,
and the archives Giancarlo De Carlo et Pierre Riboulet).
As well as the presentation of these studies, the conference will be the
opportunity to compare the m to
other experiments conducted elsewhere, and also to lay out the general
data of the issue (the longt erm
preservation of plan files), and to evaluate the consequences for
historical research and their restitution into the public domain.
Themes
1. Electronic data management in architectural firms
2. Preservation and access to digital archives
3. Dissemination and use of digital archives by researchers
Registration
No registration fees - 250 delegates as a maximum
For more information, please visit the website
www.architecturearchives.net from 15 March 2007.
Paper selection:
Presentations of between 20 and 30 minutes, in French or English, on the
general features of the lo ngterm
preservation of architecture archives and on experiments that are underway
or completed (archiving, research and enhancement) are therefore expected.
Beyond architecture, the presentation
of researches in connected fields (engineering, design, etc.) can also be
of interest. Contribution proposals should be e-mailed to:
