Dear all,

The Open Preservation Foundation <https://openpreservation.org/> (OPF) is
pleased to welcome The Swiss Federal Archives
<https://www.bar.admin.ch/bar/en/home.html> (SFA) as a new member .

The SFA is the oldest federal organisation in Switzerland and ensures the
long-term availability of information relating to the Swiss Confederation.
The Swiss Federal Archives introduced its digital repository in 2009, but
the SFA accelerated its process of digitalisation by implementing a strict
digital-only strategy for document management in 2019.

Julie Allen, Executive Director of the OPF said, “We are delighted to
welcome the Swiss Federal Archives amongst our membership. They possess an
incredible wealth of knowledge and experience, and we find their drive and
enthusiasm for digital preservation inspiring. The SFA has a colourful
project history we relate to, and are heavily involved in project
development work that we are interested in supporting; SIARD is an
invaluable community tool. We look forward to supporting them where we can.”

We thank the SFA for their membership; we are so grateful to have them join
our community. For more information on The Swiss Federal Archives see our
