New list: Digital-Preservation

A new  email list digital--preservation has been established on
jismail (successor to the UK Mailbase service).

This list will carry announcements and information on activities
relevant to the  preservation and management of digital materials in
the UK.  It will be used to disseminate information on the work of
JISC Digital Preservation Focus, the Digital Preservation Coalition
and related initiatives.

It is intended to be a moderated low-traffic announcement and
current awareness list of selected key initiatives and developments
in the field of digital preservation of interest to archivists,
curators, data creators, librarians and records managers both within
higher education and related sectors. Topics will include: digital
archiving, management and preservation; electronic records
management; emulation; migration; long-term access; research
projects; national, international and institutional initiatives in
relevant areas.

A small number of messages have already been posted to the list and
are accessible from the list archive. The archive and a joining the
list web-form is available at:
