eArchiving webinar series
In January 2019, the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) eArchiving Building Block held two webinars on the new Building Block. The webinars aim to raise awareness of the Building Block and enable direct contact with the user community and interested potential users.
The webinars
On 10 January 2019, an 'Introduction to eArchiving' webinar was presented by Kuldar Aas, National Archives of Estonia, and Janet Anderson, Danish National Archives. The speakers introduced how eArchiving is developing core specifications, software, training and knowledge to tackle the challenge of data management and reuse.
Karin Bredenberg, National Archives of Sweden, and Carl Wilson, Open Preservation Foundation, presented a second webinar on "eArchiving specifications in focus" on 22 January 2019. They presented how the eArchiving Building Block, founded by the E-ARK project, produced open specifications to be used with the E-ARK tools and services. eArchiving enhanced and stabilised the specifications which were released for review by the community in December 2018. The webinar provided a brief introduction to the specifications, explained how they are managed and developed and how the community can use and contribute to them.
