International Conference on Preservation of Digital Objects
1-4 November 2011, National Library Building
The National Library Board, Singapore and the Nanyang Technological University are pleased to host the International Conference on Preservation of Digital Objects (iPRES 2011) in Singapore in November 2011.
iPRES 2011 will be the eighth in this series of annual international conferences that bring together researchers and practitioners from around the world to explore the latest trends, innovations, policies and practices in preserving our digital heritage.
Since the first iPRES was held in 2004, it has evolved into the main international conference on the preservation of digital objects. Held annually in places all around the world, iPRES2011 will be coming to in Singapore this November.
Digital Preservation and Curation is evolving from a niche activity to an established practice and research field that involves various disciplines and communities. iPRES 2011 will re-emphasise that preserving our scientific and cultural digital heritage requires integration of activities and research across institutional and disciplinary boundaries to adequately address the challenges in digital preservation. iPRES 2011 will further strengthen the link between digital preservation research and practitioners in memory institutions and scientific research data centres.
