I. Below is the final agenda for the Preservation and Archiving Special Interest Group (PASIG) meeting May 22-24, 2013 at the Washington Court Hotel in Washington, DC. Any further revisions will be posted on the registration website:

    http://www.preservationandarchivingsig.org/events/2013/PASIGDC2013.html

The early bird special PASIG conference rate is $345.00 prior to April 12 and $395.00 afterwards. Please note that there is a very limited block of contracted rooms still remaining at the Washington Court Hotel for the negotiated $239 room rate.

We would like to thank the speakers, agenda steering committee members, and the sponsoring organizations; Oracle, EVault, and discoverygarden. If you want to contribute as a sponsor, please contact Art Pasquinelli (art.pas...@oracle.com) and Tom Cramer (tcr...@stanford.edu) asap.

II. Workshops: There will be free workshops on Tuesday, May 21 at the hotel which can be signed up for on the registration website:

1) Oracle Technology Day: This is a free, full-day event and is open to Oracle customers, prospects, employees, and partners. Technology experts will focus on Oracle a) products relevant to PASIG attendees, b) strategic positioning, c) tiered architectures, d) Big Data, records, and unstructured content management solutions, and e) database features for permanent access. A detailed agenda is at the bottom of this email (following the PASIG agenda). Speakers will be available for 1-1 discussions.

2) Morning half-day Islandora Workshop: The Islandora project (islandora.ca) is growing steadily, with new functionality added with each release. The project has also grown beyond the traditional library borders, especially when it comes to the stewardship of research data. Islandora provides integration between Fedora and Drupal, with custom solution packs to address the needs of multiple data types and collections. This session will review the project's development and current features, examples of productions sites, an update on the community and membership, as well as provide guidance for basic installation and configuration.
Speaker Bio: Mark Leggott is the founder of the Islandora project and the University Librarian for the University of Prince Edward Island. He has spoken at a number of conferences and is the founder of the SAAS company (discoverygarden Inc.), providing services around Islandora software. Agenda:
8:00 AM- 9:00 AM- Continental Breakfast and Introductions
9:00 AM- 9:30 AM- Introduction to the Islandora Project
9:30 AM- 10:30 AM- Islandora and Digital Library Collections: PDF, Images, Audio, Video
10:30 AM- 11:00 AM - Break
11:00 AM - 12:00 AM - Islandora - Preservation and Research Data Platform

3) Afternoon half-day Digital Preservation Network (DPN) meeting: The Digital Preservation Network (DPN) is being built to serve as a preservation backbone for digital information for research and scholarship. It knits together a handful of large-scale preservation repositories, which provide reciprocal, "dark" archiving services to each other. Together, the DPN Nodes form a heterogeneous network of secure, trustworthy digital archives, each operated under diverse geographical, organizational, financial, and technical regimes. Robust (bit) auditing and repair functions ensure the fixity of content over time. Intellectual property agreements ensure the succession of rights to use of the content through the Network in the event of dissolution or divestment of content by the original depositor and/or archive. This half-day session will provide a deep-dive into the DPN design, architecture and service model. DPN member organizations are especially encouraged to send technical representatives to this interactive workshop, to review, discuss and help season the emerging framework with DPN's core technical team.

Deep Dive: Fixity Best Practices
 
Fixity services are fundamental to digital preservation—they underpin
bit level preservation. Proven best practices in fixity auditing and
repair are much harder to identify, though, and best practices vary
based on storage media (disk, tape or cloud). This panel will give an
overview of different approaches and identify best practices best on
actual operating experiences.

Digital Forensics,& Virtualization and Emulation as Feasible and Practical 
Digital Preservation Solutions

Format migration dominated the early years of digital preservation
planning. Virtualization technology made leaps and bounds in the last
decade, though, and leveraging emulation for digital preservation has
moved from a theoretical possibility to a practical reality by a few
pioneering institutions. Using these new solutions will avoid potential 
format integrity issues associated with format migrations. This presentation 
set will provide a 1)demonstration of emulation in action, 2) overview the 
track record ofdevelopments (especially from Europe) on emulation-for-preservation
frameworks, and 3) explore current efforts and emerging opportunities in digital 
forensics and emulation for all practitioners.

a national scale. With invited speakers from the Library of Congress,
the National Science Foundation and the Smithsonian.
