Join us at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History this autumn as the international digital preservation community gathers for three days of exchange and sharing. A conference reception will be held at the historic 15th century Divinity School, in the heart of Oxford. The event is being hosted and organised by Bodleian Libraries and the Digital Preservation at Oxford and Cambridge (DPOC) team.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Best,
Sarah Mason, Bodleian Libraries
