On June 20th at 13.00 UTC (15:00 CEST), the PMC will deliver the Preservation and Migration Seminar 2025, titled: “Is this the last train for migration, and are we really sure of the destination?”
While last rites are given for legacy carriers and formats, future challenges for digital preservation look all too familiar.
The purpose of the seminar this year is twofold. On one hand, we want to discuss the consequences of technology obsolescence with respect to the migration outlook for legacy formats. On the other hand, we aim at considering the digital preservation challenges, for both digitised and digital born content. For legacy formats it might be a last train not to be missed. For any content within the digital archives, the future may not be as obvious as you might think.
The seminar is going to be structured in three rounds, ending with a Q&A section. Each round will consist of a short speech and a debate among a few panellists led by a moderator.
We are looking for experts representing an interesting point of view, for example from archival management, commercial service provision, technological development, on the topics of the seminar and are able to contribute constructively to the discussion.
If you are interested in being one of the panellists, just fill and submit this form before May 19th.
