"DIY Digital Preservation"

Slides from my presentation given as part of the DPC Procuring Digital Preservation Briefing in Edinburgh.

1. Introduction
   
2. DP is more than just technology...TRAC gives you a good list of considerations.
3. Why DIY? Mainly about control and risk management.
4. Not Really DIY! Most of your components are bought in anyway.
5. A couple of quotes Better to not go it alone. So we're really talking open source rather than home-grown-from-scratch solutions.
6. Creative Destruction Whips through Corporate America Corporate lifetimes are decreasing, expect to migrate external providers increasingly often!
7. Why preserve? Use cases Compliance archiving vs corporate memory.
8. Procuring communities instead of vendors In the end, the processes are not so different
9. Levels of engagement The value of open source lies in the community which relies on contribution.
10. Revisiting the idea of Corporate Memory This really needs an entire presentation in its own right - essentially it is about knowledge rather than objects.
