> <http://www.dpconline.org/events/international-digital-preservation-day>
> The alliance, called the Bedern Group, comprises the *Archaeology Data
> Service* <http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/>, *Historic England*
> <https://historicengland.org.uk/>, *Historic Environment Scotland*
> <https://www.historicenvironment.scot/> and *The Royal Commission on the
> Ancient and Historic Monuments of Wales* <https://rcahmw.gov.uk/home/> (RCAHMW).
> Their combined digital collections represent a rich resource for research
> and education, creative, cultural and commercial activity within the
> historic environment.
> Chairman of the Commissioners for RCAHMW, Dr Eurwyn Wiliam was delighted
> with the initiative, saying “by publishing this Declaration, the Bedern
> Group hopes to inspire many more individuals and organizations to help
> secure the legacy of their own important digital collections for future
> generations.”
>
> “Protecting the historic environment is not simply a concern with
> buildings, monuments and landscapes anymore,” explains Alex Paterson, CEO
> of Historic Environment Scotland. “This Declaration encapsulates the
> commitment we must all make to preserve our *digital* heritage; so making
> it possible for this and future generations to enjoy, understand and manage
> the physical traces of the human past.”
> While new technologies create significant opportunities for our society
> and economy, these changes herald a time when heritage collections will be
> almost increasingly digital.
> Duncan Wilson, CEO of Historic England agrees, saying: “The story of our
> past is not only locked up in surviving buildings and places, but in our
> archives and research. So making sure these records survive and are
> digitally accessible is a vital form of protection. This is a key part of
> our legacy to future generations.”
> A shifting technological landscape means that organizations like those of
> the Bedern Group will need to manage pressures of technological
> obsolescence, as well as being able to adapt to new scales, new
> complexities and new expectations.
> "Digital preservation is an integral component in safeguarding our
> cultural heritage. This Declaration highlights the commitment of all the
> Bedern Group members to this aim," says Director of the Archaeology Data
> Service, Professor Julian Richards. "Digital data requires careful curation
> to ensure its stability and usability in the long-term, but properly
> preserved digital data has vast potential, particularly when openly
> available, to increase the public understanding of our shared heritage."
> Helping them manage these pressures is the Digital Preservation Coalition
> (DPC), to which each of the Bedern Group organisations belongs. The DPC
> provides training, resources and support to help members deliver resilient
> long-term access to digital content and services; deriving enduring value
> from their digital collections. The Coalition also raises awareness of the
> attendant strategic, cultural and technological challenges and supports
> members through advocacy, workforce development, capacity-building and
> partnership.
> The Bedern Declaration Launch is part of a wider programme of celebrations
> and community commitments to digital preservation which makes up
> International Digital Preservation Day (IDPD17) on 30th November.
> Organized by the DPC and supported by digital preservation networks around
> the world, IDPD17 draws together individuals and institutions from across
> the world to celebrate digital collections preserved, access maintained and
> understanding fostered by preserving digital materials.
