    Dear all
    a number of you had been waiting patiently for the final version
    of Preservation Management of Digital Materials to appear. A
    pre-publication consultation draft was made available in October 2000 at
    http://www.jisc.ac.uk/dner/preservation/workbook/workbook.pdf. This draft
    has now been fully revised for publication in light of the pilot testing
    between October and March 2001 as part of a BL Collaboration and
    Partnership funded project and comments received from the consultation
    process. Excellent design and layout of the final book has also added
    considerable value and ease of use to the previous draft. The final proof
    has now gone to the printers and publication by the BL is expected later in
    October. Publication and advance order details are available below.

    "Safe Keeping:" Economist article on Digital Archival Repositories http://www.economist.com/printedition/displayStory.cfm?Story_ID=779564

    Netherlands Long-Term Preservation Study Documents http://www.kb.nl/kb/ict/dea/ltp/ltp-en.html

    Two posts I'm forwarding from the UK's JISC Digital Preservation listserv, that may be of interest: a very short piece on Digital Archival Repositories in a recent issue of the Economist magazine, and the announcement of a webpage produced by the National Library of the Netherlands to report on work it has commissioned on long-term digital preservation.
