The online event held on Tuesday 25, and Wednesday 26 April 2023, brought together E-ARK Consortium members and participants from around Europe in a forum where experiences and future plans were presented and discussed.

The event provided an overview of eArchiving, and how it has been used and implemented across Europe. It was organised into four different blocks: 

  • Block 1: Presenting the eArchiving Initiative and Activity Leads from the Consortium.
  • Block 2: Experiences from the four projects funded by the CEF Generic Services call: Oneclick, J-ARK, Engineering & Science Library, PROHUB.
  • Block 3: Experiences using eArchiving services in different contexts: Publication Office (EU), Reference Model (Central State Archives of Italy), commercial software (Docbyte), Maturity Model (INESC), databases (National Archives of Finland)
  • Block 4: Work in progress: Conformity seal, eArchiving Curriculum, Collaboration with DEP and CEN 468, 3D CITS.

The different panels and sessions allowed participants to understand how eArchiving can support long-term preservation of digital archives. Over 100 participants followed the event online.

The recording will be available shortly.
