Digital Preservation Road Show, Edinburgh, 28 October 2009

The fourth of a series of digital preservation road shows, designed to raise awareness of the issues associated with digital preservation. The road show will demonstrate that there are solutions that don’t involve mega budgets, and show how to take the first, small, incremental steps that will make a start on engaging with these issues.

Speakers' presentations will be mounted here after the event.
