Future Proofing: Enabling Practical Preservation of Born-Digital Records

JISC has released Future Proofing: Enabling Practical Preservation of Born-Digital Records.

Here's an excerpt:

The results show that is it possible to build a low-cost, practical solution that addresses immediate preservation problems, makes use of available open source tools, and requires minimal IT support. We think the results of the case study can feasibly be used by other Institutions facing similar difficulties, and scaled up to apply to the preservation of other and more complex digital objects. It will enable non-specialist information professionals to perform certain preservation and information management tasks with a minimum of preservation-specific theoretical knowledge.
