The Integrated Preservation Suite: Scaled and automated preservation planning for highly diverse digital collections (long paper)
The Integrated Preservation Suite is an internally funded project at the British Library to develop and enhance the Library's preservation planning capabilities, largely focussed on automation and addressing the Library's heterogeneous collections. Through agile development practices, the project is iteratively designing and implementing the technical infrastructure for the suite as...May, Peter ; Pennock, Maureen ; Russo, David

Developing a robust migration workflow for preserving and curating hand-held media
Many memory institutions hold large collections of hand-held media, which can comprise hundreds of terabytes of data spread over many thousands of data-carriers. Many of these carriers are at risk of significant physical degradation over time, depending on their composition. Unfortunately, handling them manually is enormously time consuming and so...Dappert, Angela ; Jackson, Andrew ; Kimura, Akiko

An analysis of contemporary JPEG2000 codecs for image format migration
This paper presents results of an analysis of different implementations of the JPEG2000 standard, specifically part 1: JP2, an image format that is currently popular within the digital preservation community. In particular we are interested in the effect different JPEG2000 codecs (encoders and decoders) have on image quality in response...Palmer, William ; May, Peter ; Cliff, Peter

Capturing and replaying streaming media in a web archive – a British Library case study
A prerequisite for digital preservation is to be able to capture and retain the content which is considered worth preserving. This has been a significant challenge or web archiving, especially for websites with embedded streaming media content, which cannot be copied via a simple HTTP request to a URL. This...Hockx-Yu, Helen ; Crawford, Lewis ; Coram, Roger ; Johnson, Stephen

LIFE3: A predictive costing tool for digital collections
Predicting the costs of long-term digital preservation is a crucial yet complex task for even the largest repositories and institutions. For smaller projects and individual researchers faced with preservation requirements, the problem is even more overwhelming, as they lack the accumulated experience of the former. Yet being able to estimate...Hole, Brian ; Lin, Li ; McCann, Patrick ; Wheatley, Paul

Deal with conflict, capture the relationship: the case of digital object properties
Properties of digital objects play a central role in digital preservation. All key preservation services are linked via a common understanding of the properties which describe the digital objects in a repository's care. Unfortunately, different services deal with properties on sometimes different levels of description. While, for example, a preservation...Dappert, Angela

A METS based information package for long term accessibility of web archives
The British Library’s web archive comprises several terabyte of harvested websites. Like other content streams this data should be ingested into the library’s central preservation repository. The repository requires a standardized Submission- and Archival Information Package. Harvested Websites are stored in Archival Information Packages (AIP). Each AIP is described by...Enders, Markus

Malware threats in digital preservation: Extending the evidence base (poster)
Virus checking is an established process in most pre-ingest digital preservation workflows. It is typically included as part of a general threat model response and there has to date been relatively little research into the virus checking function specifically within a long term context. The British Library recently began a...Pennock, Maureen ; Day, Michael ; Samaras, Evanthia

Considerations on the acquisition and preservation of ebook mobile apps
In 2018 and 2019, as part of the UK Legal Deposit Libraries’ sponsored ‘Emerging Formats’ project, the British Library’s digital preservation team undertook a program of research into the preservation of new forms of content. One of these content types was eBooks published as Mobile Apps. Research considered a relatively...Pennock, Maureen ; May, Peter ; Day, Michael
