Crowd- and Community-Fuelled Archaeology. Early Results from the MicroPasts Project
The MicroPasts project is a novel experiment in the use of crowd-based methodologies to enable participatory archaeological research. Building on a long tradition of offline community archaeology in the UK, this initiative aims to integrate crowd-sourcing, crowd-funding and forum-based discussion to encourage groups of academics and volunteers to collaborate on...Bonacchi, Chiara ; Bevan, Andrew ; Pett, Daniel ; Keinan-Schoonbaert, Adi

Implementing Digital Preservation Strategy: Developing content collection profiles at the British Library
The British Library is increasingly a digital library. Through both digitization and acquisition, it has built up significant collections of digital content covering a very wide range of content types. Most recently, the extension of legal deposit provisions to non-print works in 2013 has meant that it - working in...Day, Michael ; McDonald, Ann ; Pennock, Maureen ; Kimura, Akiko

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

CRISP: Crowdsourcing Representation Information to Support Preservation
In this paper, we describe a new collaborative approach to the collection of representation information to ensure long term access to digital content. Representation information is essential for successful rendering of digital content in the future. Manual collection and maintenance of RI has so far proven to be highly resource...Pennock, Maureen ; Jackson, Andrew N. ; Wheatley, Paul

People mashing: Agile digital preservation and the AQuA Project
Manual quality assurance (QA) of digitised content is typically fallible and can result in collections that are marred by a variety of quality and access issues. Poor storage conditions, technology obsolescence and other unforeseen problems can also leave digital objects in an unusable state. Detecting, identifying and ultimately fixing these...Wheatley, Paul ; Middleton, Bo ; Double, Jodie ; Jackson, Andrew ; McGuinness, Rebecca
