I’m very pleased to be able to share the announcement for this second conference on Aligning National Approaches to Digital Preservation (and also to have the opportunity to speak at it). I hope that many interested readers of this list have had the opportunity to look at the proceedings book from the wonderful earlier conference that was held in Estonia in 2011 (this is available free for download at the educopia.org web site); I am hopeful that using this as a point of departure, it should be possible to make a great deal of progress at the Barcelona meeting.

Aligning National Approaches to Digital Preservation II: An Action Assembly
Dates: November 18-20, 2013
Location: Biblioteca de Catalunya (Barcelona)
Conference Website: http://educopia.org/events/ANADPII
We are pleased to announce the “Aligning National Approaches to Digital Preservation II” Action Assembly. This event will assemble digital preservation leaders from a variety of backgrounds (including national libraries, academic libraries and archives, research centres, public libraries, information science/management programs, archives, corporations, and funding agencies) to carry out international alignment activities to support the preservation of our collective digital memory.
This Action Assembly will build upon the successes of the 2011 ANADP Conference in Estonia, in which more than 120 delegates from 24 nations established targeted alignment channels for their future efforts. These alignment channels were documented in the conference volume, Aligning National Approaches to Digital Preservation(Educopia, 2012), this year’s winner of the Society of American Archivists (SAA) Preservation Publication award. The first major action outcomes-an international tools/services registry, a framework for applying OAIS to Distributed Digital Preservation methodologies, a catalogue of education and training opportunities, and quantitative data gathering around digital preservation costs-will be delivered to the community at ANADP II this Fall.
ANADP II will be a highly participatory event in which stakeholders will engage in facilitated discussions and action sessions to produce a set of concrete outcomes for the extended digital preservation community in three areas: Community Alignment, Resource Alignment, and Capacity Alignment.
