Description: What has worked, and what hasn’t, in creating sustainable approaches to the acquisition and preservation of digital artifacts? What sorts of collaborations have been most productive? What evolutions in technology have been most fruitful? What has changed about what we do, how we do it, what we preserve, and to what unexpected uses is it put? What challenges lie ahead, and what work still needs to be done? This panel will provide an opportunity for sharing experiences, lessons learned, successes, and failures, and discussion regarding technical, policy, operational, and business aspects of preservation, as well as assessments of what has changed over time and what to expect in the coming years. Our goal is to elicit a distillation of panelists’ collective experience, both within and across their institutions and their various collaborations, as a starting point for eliciting shared experience, discussion, exploration, and reflection from the audience. We hope that sharing the extensive knowledge and diverse experiences of our panelists will provide participants with information and perspectives that will prove valuable in their own work and organizations.
