General overviews: Digital Curation and Preservation Bibliography, maintained by Charles W. Bailey, Jr.--most materials date to 2000 or later; this is the current (2012) version.http://digital-scholarship.org/dcpb/dcpb.htm Materials pertaining to process in the class: Reflective practice The links below point to materials on reflective/critical journaling as an assistance in helping you learn through surfacing what you are thinking, what is going on, etc., so you can come to grips with it. Each was prepared for a specific context, but they provide ideas for how to get started. In general, think narrative rather than checklist, though checklists can help you consider things to write about.

Paul Wheatley, "Survey and assessment of sources of information on file formats and software documentation." This 2003 review of file format repositories, though a little old, has a useful overview of issues with older file formats and will be of help if you are dealing with strange file formats or are formulating a recommendation for long-term tracking of file-format expertise. Available at: http://www.jisc.ac.uk/uploaded_documents/FileFormatsreport.pdf NDIIPP Partner Tools and Services contains descriptions of available products of NDIIPP-funded projects; alas many of them have, after the money ran out, been abandoned: http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/partners/resources/tools/index.html General Resources: Many significant resources for digital preservation exist online and should be actively used. Dutch National Library Knowledge Base for Digital Preservation: this resource contains links to just about everything that is available up to 2010: http://en.archief.nl/knowledge-base/digital-preservation The Preserving Access to Digital Information (PADI) site (http://www.nla.gov.au/padi/), maintained by the National Library of Australia (although discontinued in summer 2010, the site is still maintained and is rich in resources), is indispensable and its cooperative notion of "Safekeeping" is worth study in itself. There is also now a German preservation site that goes under the name of the Nestor project (English version: http://www.langzeitarchivierung.de/eng/index.htm); they are cooperating with PADI but have additional materials for Germany. A new report on "distributed archiving" using the LOCKSS model is here: A Guide to Distributed Digital Preservation The British National Archives PRONOM file-format registry site is available at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/pronom/ It includes a collection of useful tools from all over the planet for extracting metadata, detecting file formats, etc. Chris Lacinak, "A Primer on Codecs for Moving Image and Sound Archives," just released: AVPS_Codec_Primer.pdf Anne Marie Donovan, Maria Esteva, Addy Sonder, and Sue Trombley,

Carlos Ovalle has provided this link to the UT ITS document on what they refer to as "data classification" (for "sensitivity"/security considerations) : In 2004 Galloway wrote this overview of digital object preservation: Here is a useful PPT outline of the basics of OAIS, By Michael Day, University of Bath: The OAIS Reference Model You may also want to check the contents of several online publications regularly, as they tend to carry useful articles on developments in digital preservation (and they also should be venues in which you aspire to publish)--some have listservs and increasingly there are RSS feeds available: D-Lib: http://www.dlib.org Journal of Digital Information (JoDI): http://journals.tdl.org/jodi RLG DigiNews: moved in the OCLC merger, but if you have a citation to track down or want to browse, see: http://www.oclc.org/programs/publications/newsletters/diginews.htm First Monday: http://www.firstmonday.org/index.html Richard Pearce-Moses, A Glossary of Archival and Records Terminology, is on the SAA website in draft form: http://www.archivists.org/glossary/index.asp Resources for specific problems or formats: Digital Video Dave Rice, Sustaining Consistent Video Presentation (Tate UK, 18 March 2015): http://www.tate.org.uk/research/publications/sustaining-consistent-video-presentation Digital Audio Library of Congress projects report from the UT Sound Savings conference (see the whole proceedings of this); http://www.arl.org/preserv/sound_savings_proceedings/Digital_audio.shtml Library of Congress information formats includes digital audio: http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/intro/intro.shtml National Archives information on audio file formats (such as it is): http://www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/initiatives/dav-faq.html And a pretty encyclopedic entry from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_file_format See Dr. Megan Winget's fall 2007 Survey of Digitization readings on digital audio, especially the main readings (scroll down to October 26) here: http://courses.ischool.utexas.edu/megan/2007/Fall/INF385R/readings.php David Rosenthal, Thomas Lipkis, Thomas Robertson, Seth Morabito, "Transparent Format Migration of Preserved Web Content," D-Lib Magazine, January 2005.
